  1. Aller à “To go to” in English does not change ever! I go to school, you go to church, We go to the theatre, they go to London…

  2. à in French has the particularity that it sometimes combines with the following word’s article. So… • Je vais à “la” maison (feminine) It does not change • Tu vas à l’église (because la in front of a vowel becomes “l’”) • Il va au théâtre (masculine) à+le becomes “au”

  3. à also combines with the plural les • It then becomes “aux” • Il va aux Etats-Unis (He goes to the United States.)

  4. Aller is also used to form the near future • This is very good to know when you don’t know the true future yet, and want to express future ideas, concepts and actions. • Just knowing the verb “aller” expands the range of what you can say considerably.

  5. Let’s review the verb Aller • Je vais • Tu vas • Il/Elle va • Nous allons • Vous allez • Ils/Elles vont

  6. Aller when followed by a verb announces something to come It works exactly the same as in English: • I am going to learn French • Je vaisapprendre le français You can even use it twice in the same sentence: • I am going to go to … • Je vaisallerà Paris • Je vaisaller au cinéma • Je vaisallerà la plage

  7. Aller is also used in sentences likeHow are you?ÇA VA?‘ • (Comment) ça va? • How are you? • Ça va bien! Et toi? / Et vous? • I am well and you?
