  1. IR, DAR, AND ESTAR Sra. McIntosh

  2. IR, DAR, & ESTAR • ir, dar, and estar are "sister" verbs because although they have dissimilar meanings, they do have similar conjugations.

  3. Let’s start with IR… • IR – to go • The verb ir has a conjugation that is totally unrelated to its infinitive.  This is because under normal circumstances, one would drop the -irand add the appropriate endings.  Only, in this case, there is nothing to add the endings to.  We would be left with nothing.  Thus, the verb is too short to work in the usual way.  It is therefore irregular:

  4. IR – to go • The verb IR is conjugated as follows: • (yo) voy    (nosotros/as) vamos • (tú) vas    (vosotros/as) vais • (él, ella (ellos, ellas Ud. ) vaUds.) van •  Note that there is NO ACCENT MARK for the vosotros-form.  The verb is just too short for an accent mark to work in the same way as regular verbs.

  5. IR – to go • Voy al partido de fútbol. • I am going to the soccer match. • Vamos a la playa. • We are going to the beach. • ¿Vas al banco? • Are you going to the bank? • Mi hermanova al aeropuerto. • My brother is going to the airport. • ¿Van Uds. a la biblioteca? • Are you all going to the library?

  6. IR & the immediate future… • There is another thing unique about the verb IR.  • Since it means "to go," it can be used to talk about the future--that is, to be going to do something.  The formula for that is: (conjugated form) IR+ a + infinitive EXAMPLES: • Voy a estudiar. • I am going to study • Vamos a escucharmúsica. • We are going to listen to music. • Los estudiantes van a cantar en el concierto. • The students are going to sing in the concert.

  7. DAR – to give • The next verb is dar.  Notice that dar is very similar in structure to ir.  If you know one, it should be simple to learn the other.  Only a single letter is different. • dar-to give (yo) doy (nosotros/as) damos (tú) das (vosotros/as) dais (él, ella, da (ellos, ellas, Ud.) Uds.) dan • Doyuna fiesta sábado. • I am giving a party Saturday. • Mi padre siempredoydinero a los pobres. • My dad always gives money to the poor. • Damosunapresentacíon en la clase de inglés. • We are giving a presentation in English class. • Julia y Juana me dan el libro de historia. • Julia and Juana are giving me the history book.

  8. ESTAR- to be • estar-to be (conditions; locations) (yo) estoy (nosotros/as) estamos (tú) estás (vosotros/as) estáis (él, ella, Ud.) está (ellos, ellas, Uds.) están • Estar has endings that are similar to dar and ir • Note the accent marks. These are very important because they can change the meaning of the word: • está - is • ésta - this one We have been using estar since the first days of class: ¿Cómoestás? & ¿CómoestáUd.? • Pedro estáenfermo. • Nosotrosestamos en clase. WE WILL DISCUSS DIFFERENCES B/T SER & ESTAR LATER. 
