Talk about walking to a destination.

The idea

Use ir a pie to say you travel on foot; change ir for the subject.

Examples

  • Voy a pie al mercado.I walk to the market.
  • Mi hermana va a pie a clase.My sister walks to class.
  • Vamos a pie hasta el parque.We walk as far as the park.
  • ¿Vas a pie a la estación?Do you walk to the station?
  • Mis vecinos van a pie al trabajo.My neighbours walk to work.
  • Hoy voy a pie a casa.Today I walk home.
