I understand ir is the infinitive of va. However what I don't get is why it sometimes has 'a' before it and sometimes not.

Quiero ir a casa - I want to go home 

Tengo que ir a casa - I have to go home

Voy a ir a casa - I'm going to go home. 

This last one seems like it's saying "I'm going to to go home" to me. Voy = I'm going, a = to, ir = to go... 

Can someone please explain this to me? 

 

 

For me it depend of the situation, voy a ir a casa is more like "I'm going home" and it sound like right now and when you use "I'm going to go home" sounds more like you tell some one like you plan to go home but like a moment after, like you are thinking to do that.

I'm using a combination of flash cards I create for myself, super duo lingo, and notes I take from a youtube channel I discovered called Spring Spanish in order to learn spanish. NOTE: I'm studying the spanish language in the context of the spanish spoken in Mexico, because I'm preparing to immigrate to Mexico from the USA. 

Anyway, thanks to the duo lingo app, I discovered that if I hold down the "world" icon, I can download a spanish keyboard. ...well, sort of haha. 

I'm attempting to use a spanish keyboard on my iphone so that I can practice using the correct accents when punctuating spanish when using the Duo Lingo app. However, the only accent I found I can use (that I'm aware of) is the wiggly line over the letter n when spelling words like nino/nina (boy/girl). But I cannot find the accent needed to properly text/punctuate words like tio/tia (uncle/aunt), where you have a slanted accent symbol in place of the dot in the lower case i. 

How can I solve this issue? Am I just not using my iphone correctly? If I can solve this issue, I can practice using ALL the proper accents when I study on super duo lingo. 

Thanks for any help on this issue.  

Hi, the only thing you need to do is to hold the "n" buton for a few seconds an it will apear the options for the "ñ" the same for accents on vowels. If you press de "i" for a few seconds the it will apear the option for "í".
