| 0:12.0 | I'm Timothy, and this is LearnCraft Spanish. |
| 0:17.0 | Yesterday, when we started practicing Vo, va, vas, van, and vamos, I mentioned that these words |
| 0:25.3 | can sometimes be translated as either I go or I am going, she goes, or she is going, and so on. |
| 0:35.2 | Let's look at a specific situation in English where we would use this phrasing. |
| 0:40.2 | I am going to do something. What is this sentence? Am I actually going somewhere? If we look |
| 0:50.7 | closely at it, we can see that we're not going anywhere. Instead, we're actually |
| 0:55.0 | using the phrase, I am going, to indicate doing something in the future. Here's another |
| 1:02.1 | example. She is going to be here. I'm not saying that she's going anywhere. Instead, it's understood in English that going to, when followed by another verb, means that we're putting that verb in the future. |
| 1:19.6 | Well, I've got great news for you. You can do this in Spanish as well. You'll use one of your five conjugations of iir, and then you'll put |
| 1:31.2 | a after it, and then add any infinitive. Let's try this with aser. He, she, or it is going to do is |
| 1:43.0 | ba-a-a-asser. You are going to do is va a |
| 1:45.0 | asser. You are going to do is |
| 1:49.0 | vas a acer. They are going to do is van a |
| 1:54.0 | and we are going to do is |
| 1:57.0 | bamos a se., this is extremely handy |
| 2:01.4 | because we can replace |
| 2:02.8 | Acer with the name |
| 2:04.9 | of any other verb |
| 2:06.3 | to put it in the future. |
