Plans with ir a

Google voice when available; device voice as a fallback. Read along, then try each line aloud.

Use ir a with an infinitive

You know ir for going to a destination. Ir a plus an infinitive expresses a plan or something that is going to happen: voy a estudiar. Keep both the a and the infinitive. Voy estudio and voy estudiar are not the pattern.

Change only the first verb to match the subject: voy, vas, va, vamos, vais, van. The second verb remains unchanged: vamos a comer, ella va a estudiar. This gives you many useful plans without learning a separate future-tense set of endings.

Specify when a plan will happen

Mañana means tomorrow, but la mañana means the morning. Context and the article help distinguish them. Mañana por la mañana means tomorrow morning. You can also use el sábado or la semana que viene to place the plan in time.

A plan can include a destination and an activity: voy a ir al museo. The first ir is part of the plan frame; the second ir is the action of going. This repetition is ordinary Spanish, even if it feels unusual at first.

Suggest and respond to a plan

¿Qué vas a hacer? asks someone informally about an intended activity. ¿Vamos a tomar un café? can suggest having a coffee together. A simple sí or no, gracias can be followed by a time or a reason.

No puedo ir gives a clear refusal without a long explanation. If another time works, offer it: puedo ir mañana. Practice changing the person, action, and time one at a time so you can build a plan rather than memorize a single sentence.
