the Future with IR –> PRACTICE –> Eu vou…

Just practice the "eu" (1st person, singular) form here.
On the next page we'll do the other forms 👧🏼 😺 💁🏽‍♀️.

Ir: The Formula

remember: it's always like this...
Eu vou + ANY VERB in the infinitive.

*The infinitive is just the raw, un-conjugated form. It always ends in ar, er or ir.

Eu vou comer spaghetti. » I'm going to eat spaghetti.
Eu vou acordar cedo. » I'm going to wake up early.
Eu vou trabalhar hoje. » I'm going to work today.

This following quiz will train you on JUST this form - using EU VOU ... *Remember: The "eu" is optional. Eu vou comer == Vou comer.

Ir: when you just want to say, GOING.

If you leave off the verb after IR and just say, Eu vou... you're just saying going -- as in: going to somewhere; going now; going later; going here or there; going alone or with a friend ETC!

Eu vou à praia. » I'm going to the beach.
Eu vou também. » I'm going too.
Eu vou para casa. » I'm going home.
