Question of word order

Ok, I will accept the idea that I should change the word order in both English and Spanish.

However, I am trying to teach the future tense of the verb "To Go" or "Ir". What you are suggesting is that the concept that I am trying to express does not call for future tense, but for some other verb form.

It isn't 'some other verb form'. It's the present tense.

So, do you have any suggestions about a better example that includes future tense? What I need are equivalent sentances in English and Spanish, as close to being parallel as would be good usage. I don't think that I can expect to teach my students a large number of verb tenses, most of them are beginners and are still struggling with pronunciation.

I should note that "To Go" is only one of the verbs that I am trying to teach to my students, but let's keep the discussion focused on "To Go". I can always go back and review my handout sheets for the other verbs after I know how I should change this handout. For consistency, I am trying to keep each handout similar, including using the verb "will" to form the future tense. You and I know that shall is probably more correct, but I am trying to teach English as commonly spoken, not written, while trying at the same time to avoid bad grammar. I sometimes teach common slang, but explain to the students that it is "muy informal", or "no es correcto".

I could say "Tomorrow, I am going to go to California", or "Mañana, voy a ir a California", but that is some other verb tense that does not seem to be described in either grammar book that I consulted.

"Voy a ir" is not 'some other verb tense'. It's a way of using the future tense without conjugating the future verb. You'll find it described in any textbook for students of Spanish.

I confess to not being a diligent student of Spanish in recent years, and also to being so lazy as to post here in English. Once upon a time I was a more diligent student, and perhaps in the future I will be again.

Here are some examples using the future of IR for your class
