14. Ir is often used with the preposition a (to). If a is followed by the definite article el,
they combine to form the contraction al. If a is followed by the other definite
articles (la, las, los), there is no contraction.
a + el = al
The construction ir a + [infinitive] is used to talk about actions that are going to
happen in the future. It is equivalent to the English to be going to + [infinitive].
Vamos a + [infinitive] can also express the idea of let’s (do something).
Ejemplos: I’m going to the park with Pablo.Yo voy al parque con Pablo.
He is going to read the newspaper. Él va a leer el periódico.
Let’s take a stroll. Vamos a pasear.
