My question is this: If I want to add more words to the list of where I'd like to go, do I add 'al' to those words which are masculine and 'a la' to the feminine words? Or is that too easy?

For example, I'd like to say, 'I want to go to school'. Do I say 'Quiero ir a la escuela' because escuela is feminine?
"al" is a contraction of "a el"

Voy a el banco and voy al banco is the same.

And yes, it is that easy.
