learn the Italian language with Italian culture

The verb andare (to go) is probably one of the most common you will use when speaking. It is an irregular verb, but it is definitely worth learning how to conjugate it in different tenses:

Present simple:  (io) vado, (tu) vai, (lui/lei) va, (noi) andiamo, (voi) andate, (loro) vanno

Present continuous: verb stare + andando, eg sto andando (I am going), sta andando (he is going)

Past simple: verb essere + andato, eg sono andato (I went).
NB andato must agree with subject, i.e. (noi) siamo andate (if all women)

Future: (io) andrò, (tu) andrai, (lui/lei) andrà, (noi) andremo, (voi) andrete, (loro) andranno

Another thing to remember about the verb to go is what preposition to use after it. In English we generally use ‘to’ but in Italian it changes depending on the place you are going to…

go home = vado a casa
go to (supermarket, cinema, shop, work) = vado al (supermercato, cinema, negozio, lavoro)
go to (mountains, swimming pool, gym) = vado in (montagna, piscina, palestra)
go to (Italy, England Germany) = vado in (Italia, Germania, Inghilterra)
go to (the doctor’s, butcher’s, dentist’s) = vado dal (medico, macellaio, dentista)
go to (Peter’s, John’s, my parents’)  = vado da (Pietro, Giovanni, i  miei)
go (shopping, swimming, walking) = vado a (comprare, nuotare, camminare)
