Lets review what we learned:
1) Where to? When do you use ¿Adónde? or ¿Dónde? ¿Dónde? Where? ¿Adónde? To where?
¿Adónde vamos mañana? (to)Where are you going tomorrow? Mañana vamos a la fiesta. ¿Adónde vas? Where are you going to? Voy a casa. I am going home.
2) IR+A+INFINITIVE- TO EXPRESS NEAR FUTURE
We will continue to practice the verb to go to express a future action, that is, what someone is going to do (near future). The construction ir +a + infinitive is the English equivalent to be going to + infinitive.
Note: We never conjugate both verbs when expressing the near future.
3) contractions The verb to go/ir is often used with the preposition a (to). When the preposition a is followed by the definitive article el, they combine to form the contraction al. As you can see on the examples below.
