Help Understanding Voy

[HerbalT]

I was looking at a song and it said, "Voy a bailar" DOes this mean I will dance or i will go dancing?

[Rusty]

I'm going to dance.

Is the "a" in "Voy a bailar" necessary for it to mean what Rusty said?

[AngelicaDeAlquezar]

Yes, it is. The construction for expressing a future action with the verb "ir" is always:

ir + a + infinitive.

[Juas]

Yes, it is. The construction for expressing a future action with the verb "ir" is always:

ir + a + infinitive.

Is this just with "ir" or with any verb expressing a future action?

[Julvenzor]

Just with "ir". Some verbs require their own prepositions.
