Questions & Answers about Mañana voy al aeropuerto, pero no tengo el visado.
Why does it say voy (I go) instead of a future tense like iré or voy a ir since it's happening tomorrow?
In Spanish, the present tense is very commonly used to talk about the future, especially for firm plans or scheduled events. Saying Mañana voy sounds completely natural and is often preferred over the future tense for immediate, certain plans.
Why is "visa" translated as el visado? Could I just say la visa?
In Spain, a travel visa is el visado. If you say la visa, people will usually assume you are talking about your credit card!
Since we are learning the "accidental se", how would I say "I forgot the visa" to explain why I don't have it?
You would say se me olvidó el visado or se me ha olvidado el visado (literally, "the visa forgot itself to me"). The verb matches the singular el visado, and the indirect object pronoun me shows who was affected by the accident.
Why does the sentence use the definite article in el visado? Could I say no tengo visado?
