Questions & Answers about Ni iros al la biblioteko, kaj poste ni trinkos teon en la kafejo.

Why do iros and trinkos both end in -os?

In Esperanto, -os marks the future tense.

• iri = to go

• iros = will go

• trinki = to drink
• trinkos = will drink

So:

• Ni iros = We will go
• ni trinkos = we will drink

This ending is the same for all persons, so Esperanto does not change the verb the way English does with I go / he goes.

Why is it al la biblioteko but en la kafejo?

Because the two prepositions mean different things:

• al = to, toward
• en = in, inside, at

So:

• al la biblioteko = to the library
  This shows movement toward a place.

• en la kafejo = in the café
  This shows where the tea-drinking happens.

A helpful way to think about it:

• al answers Where to?
• en answers Where?

Why does teon have an -n at the end?
