We go in Portuguese 🇧🇷

nós vamos info.

Tips to Remember the Verb:
• Associate "ir" (to go) with the image of movement. The forms “vou, vais, vai, vamos, vão” sound distinctive; try linking them with the idea of a journey or trip.
• Note that “ir” is an irregular verb. Instead of following a standard pattern, its conjugations must be memorized with practice.
• Practice common phrases like “nós vamos” (“we go” or “we are going”) when talking about plans or directions.

Explanations:
• “Nós vamos” is the present tense, first-person plural form of “ir.” It translates to “we go” or “we are going.”
• Although English may use “we go” for habitual actions and “we are going” for near-future plans, in Portuguese “nós vamos” can serve both roles.
• In many contexts, “ir” is also used in the near future construction “ir + a + infinitive” (ex. “Nós vamos a comer” – “We are going to eat”).
