How does this relate to the verb ir (to go) from this lesson?
This specific sentence uses parar (to stop), not ir. However, when learning ir, you will frequently see para used as a preposition meaning 'to' (like in ele vai para Lisboa - he goes to Lisbon). It is very helpful at this level to know that para can be a preposition ('to/for') or a verb ('stops'), depending on the context!
