Questions & Answers about Voy a organizar el viaje.

Why is the sentence Voy a organizar instead of using a word for 'I am'?
To say what you are going to do in the future, Spanish uses a special formula: the present tense of ir (to go) + a + the infinitive verb. You use voy (I am going) instead of trying to translate English word-for-word.
What happens if I forget the 'a' and just say Voy organizar?
It would be grammatically incorrect. The a is the superglue that connects the verb ir to the action you are going to do. Always remember the formula for future plans: ir + a + infinitive!
Where is the word for 'I' in this sentence?
The word for 'I' is yo, but it is not needed here. Because voy is the specific form that goes with yo, it already means 'I am going'. Spanish speakers usually drop the yo to sound more natural.
The word viaje ends in an 'e'. Is there a rule to know it uses el instead of la?
Yes! Nouns that end in -aje in Spanish are almost always masculine, so they take el. You will see this with other travel words like el equipaje (the luggage) or el pasaje (the ticket).
