Forgetting its Irregular Form

'Voy' is the 'I' form of the verb 'ir' (to go). It looks very different from 'ir', so you just have to remember that when you want to say 'I go', you say 'voy'.

A Very Special Verb

To say *where* you are going, use the little word 'a' after 'voy'. For example: 'Voy a la escuela' (I'm going to the school).

Use 'a' for Your Destination

If you want to say 'I'm leaving' from a place, you can say 'Me voy'. The 'me' adds the feeling of departing. For example, 'Bueno, me voy.' (Okay, I'm leaving.)

Expressing 'I'm leaving'

Extremely common. This is one of the most essential verbs you'll learn in Spanish.

Forgetting the 'a'

To talk about your plans, use this easy formula: voy + a + an action verb. For example, 'Voy a leer' (I'm going to read).
