    irse de vacaciones

    Grammar & Usage

    verb phrase
    neutral

    How it works

    Formed by the pronominal verb 'irse' (to leave/go away), the preposition 'de', and the plural noun 'vacaciones'. The reflexive pronoun must agree with the subject in person and number (e.g., 'me voy', 'te vas', 'se va'). While 'ir de vacaciones' is also used, the pronominal form 'irse' emphasizes departure and leaving one's usual place.
