Questions & Answers about Todos vamos al parque.
What exactly does todos mean here? Does it include the speaker?
Why is nosotros not written? Shouldn’t it be Todos nosotros vamos al parque?
Spanish usually omits subject pronouns (yo, tú, él, nosotros, etc.) when the verb ending already shows who the subject is.
What’s the difference between Todos vamos al parque and Vamos todos al parque?
Why is it vamos al parque and not vamos a el parque?
Why do we need the little word a before parque?
Why is it al parque and not just a parque without el?
In Spanish, nouns usually need an article (el, la, los, las, un, una, etc.) unless there’s a specific reason to omit it.
- parque is a concrete, countable place.
- Talking about going to it normally uses the park, not just park, so Spanish uses al parque.
You normally cannot say Vamos a parque. It sounds incomplete or incorrect.
Is parque masculine or feminine? How do I know?
Why is the verb vamos in the present tense if it can mean a future action like “We are all going to the park (later)”?
Spanish often uses the present tense to talk about near future events, especially when they are planned or certain.
Context determines whether it’s literally happening now or just about to happen.
If you want to be very clear about the future, you can say:
- Todos vamos a ir al parque. = We are all going to go to the park.
- Todos iremos al parque. = We will all go to the park.
Could todos ever be feminine here, like todas, or does it have to be todos?
Is todos describing some noun, like “all the people,” or is it standing alone?
Can this sentence also mean “Everybody is going to the park,” not just “We are all going to the park”?
Yes. Todos vamos al parque can be understood as:
- We are all going to the park (explicitly including the speaker).
- In some contexts, more loosely as Everybody is going to the park (where “everybody” includes the speaker and their group).
If you want everybody without focusing on “we,” you might also hear:
- Todo el mundo va al parque. = Everybody is going to the park.
What is the natural English translation: “We all go to the park” or “We are all going to the park”?
Both are possible, but the most natural translation in many real situations is:
- We are all going to the park.
Because:
- Spanish present tense often covers present continuous in English.
We all go to the park sounds more like a habit in English (every day, every Sunday, etc.).
In that habitual sense, it also matches the Spanish present, so context decides:
