A mí me gusta

Ir + a

When I say voy a hacer or voy a alquilar should I be pronucing the "a"? In essence I'm getting a double "a" sound because of the a followed by the "h" and the "a" in these cases. Is that correct?...

Hace 2 años

How does hace 2 años translate into 2 years ago? Does hacer have meanings other than to do or to make or is it one of those phrases that doesn't translate directly from english to spanish?

Se fue

My understanding is that "se fue" means he/she went away. Is that correct? Fue is the past tense of Ser (to be) correct? So how does se fue become he/she went away?

Listo

Listo means both ready and clever. How do you know when it means which word? For instance if I said "soy listo" could that mean both I'm ready and I'm clever?
