Show Answer Key & Explanations Step-by-step solution for: The verb ir in Spanish. Ir + a + place., ir a - cepedoca.org.br
Let’s go step by step to fill in each blank with the correct past tense form of ser or ir, and then mark which verb was used.

We need to remember:
- Ser (to be) in preterite:
yo fui, tú fuiste, él/ella/Ud. fue, nosotros fuimos, vosotros fuisteis, ellos/ellas/Uds. fueron
→ Used for descriptions, identity, origin, time, etc.

- Ir (to go) in preterite:
yo fui, tú fuiste, él/ella/Ud. fue, nosotros fuimos, vosotros fuisteis, ellos/ellas/Uds. fueron
→ Same forms as “ser”! But meaning is different — it means “went”.

So we must look at context to decide if it’s “was/were” (ser) or “went” (ir).

Also note: The worksheet says to use a different color font for answers — but since we’re typing, I’ll just write the answer clearly. And after each sentence, I’ll put under “ser” or “ir” depending on which verb was used.
