Thank you for using the Jiskha Homework Help Forum. You are absolutely correct: "I'm going to go" = Je vais aller.
Yes, you are correct. In English, the phrase "Je vais aller" translates to "I am going to go." So, in your example, "Je vais aller au terrain de sport" would be "I am going to go to the athletic field" in English. If you are confused, it's important to remember that "going to go" is simply an idiomatic way to express future actions in English.
To clarify the translation of "Je vais aller au terrain de sport" to English, it can be expressed as follows: "I am going to go to the athletic field."
The French phrase "Je vais aller" translates as "I am going to go" in English. In this case, it refers to the action of going to the athletic field.
To get the translation, you can break down the phrase as follows:
- "Je vais" means "I am going."
- "Aller" means "to go."
- Combining these two phrases, you can say "Je vais aller" meaning "I am going to go."
So, to translate the full sentence "Je vais aller au terrain de sport" to English, it becomes "I am going to go to the athletic field."
