Molts de vosaltres estudieu el català pel vostre compte a quilòmetres de distància dels territoris de parla catalana així que és molt probable que tingueu dubtes gramaticals per resoldre. Sabeu quan heu d'utilitzar he anat i quan vaig anar?
Voleu descobrir una particularitat gramatical que fa especial el català?


Many of you study Catalan independently many kilometres away from Catalan-speaking areas so it's likely you have some grammar questions that need solving. Do you know when to use I have gone and I went?
Do you want to discover a grammatical peculiarity that makes Catalan special?

En francès, espanyol, anglès, portuguès i occità, l’ús del verb anar més un infinitiu expressa la idea de futur, mentre que si en català diem Vaig aprendre català, ens estem referint a una acció ja passada.
In French, Spanish, English, Portuguese and Occitan the use of the verb to go + infinitive expresses the idea of future while in Catalan if we say I learnt Catalan we are referring to an action that's already happened.

Hi ha diverses teories que expliquen aquesta raresa del català. Us en deixem més informació aquí:
