Question #1 55. ¿Adónde vas después de las clases? A = to, towards ¿dónde? = where ¿Adónde? = to where (remember that we need the preposition “a” with the verb “ir” we can’t just say “where are you going” in Spanish, we have to say “to where are you going.”) vas = tú form of the verb ir (to go) = you go después = after To where are you going after classes (after school)?
