Questions & Answers about La señora quiere que vayamos a la embajada hoy.
Why is it vayamos instead of vamos?
In English we say "wants us to go". Why does the Spanish sentence use que (that)?
Where is the word for "us" or "we" in the Spanish sentence?
It is built right into the verb! The ending on vayamos tells you it means "we go". Because the verb ending makes the subject completely clear, Spanish speakers usually drop the pronoun nosotros.
Why do we use a right after vayamos?
The verb ir (to go) and all its forms, like vayamos, are almost always followed by the preposition a (to) when you are talking about heading to a destination, which in this case is la embajada (the embassy).
