Questions & Answers about ¿Vas a la biblioteca luego?
Where is the word for 'are' or 'you' in this sentence?
In Spanish, the verb vas already means 'you go' or 'you are going'. You don't need a separate word for 'are' like in English. Because the verb ending tells us exactly who is doing the action, the pronoun tú (you) is usually left out.
Why do we use the word a after vas?
The preposition a means 'to'. Whenever you use a form of the verb ir (to go) to talk about traveling to a destination, you must follow it with a. So, vas a translates to 'you are going to'.
Does biblioteca mean 'bookstore'?
No, biblioteca is a false friend! It specifically means 'library'. If you want to say 'bookstore', you would use the word librería.
Could I put luego at the beginning of the sentence?
Yes! Spanish word order is quite flexible with time words. You can easily say ¿Luego vas a la biblioteca? and it means the exact same thing.
