Let's look at the sentence pattern.

This pattern will be used in several of our examples.

Vamos a plus place plus time.

Let's, we are going to plus place plus time.

Normally, Vamos a expresses a plan, something you and others are going to do.

However, with the right intonation, like speaking with excitement or urgency, you can make

the same structure sound like an invitation, just like saying let's go in English.

Vamos is the weak form of i.

Meaning to go.

After Vamos a, you add a place,

and then you can add a time expression.

We don't repeat the verb, ir,

unless we are talking about a future plan.

When inviting someone to go somewhere now,

you just use Vamos plus the place like,

Vamos al-Cine. Let's go to the movies.

But if you're talking about the plan to go later,

you repeat the verb and say,

Vamos a ir, like,

we are going to go to the movies.

So, remember, we're a plus place is an invitation happening now.

Vamos a plus place is a future plan.
