Irregular Spanish Verbs

In Spanish, regular verbs follow the same rules of conjugation in all the Spanish verb tenses. An irregular verb is one which does not follow standard rules of conjugation in the different verb tenses.

Some of the most important and most frequently used Spanish verbs are irregular. Hence it is necessary to learn how they are conjugated.

One of the most useful Spanish verbs is the verb “ir,” which means “to go.” This verb is an irregular verb because the present tense conjugations do not follow the norm which you previously learned.

The table below shows how to conjugate "ir" in the present tense:

Sound ir (example sentences)(full conjugation)

yo Sound voy (I go)
Sound vas (you go)
Ud./él/ella Sound va (you/he/she goes)
nosotros (as) Sound vamos (we go)
vosotros (as) Sound vais (you guys go)
Uds./ellos/ ellas Sound van (you all/they go)
Note:
m = male f = female mix = mixed group
yo = I, tú = you (informal)
usted (Ud.) = you (formal)
él = he, ella = she
nosotros = we (m/mix), nosotras = we (f)
vosotros = you guys (informal, m/mix)
vosotras = you guys (informal, f)
ellos = they (m/mix), ellas = they (f)
ustedes (Uds.) = you all (formal)

Whenever you say that something or someone is “going to” a place, you have to add the Spanish preposition “a,” which means “to.”

Voy + a + place

Él va a su casa. - He goes to his house.

Nosotros vamos a México. - We’re going to Mexico.
