Contexto cultural
The first day of school (September 1st) is a major event. Children bring flowers to their teachers, and there is usually a formal ceremony with speeches. Slovak students often stay with the same group of classmates (the 'trieda') for many years, making 'going to school' a very social, stable experience. School usually starts very early, often at 8:00 AM. 'Ísť do školy' often implies a very early morning routine. University students often use 'ísť na školu' or 'ísť na výšku' instead of 'do školy' to sound more mature.
The 'Do' Rule
Always remember that 'do' is followed by the -y ending for feminine nouns like 'škola'.
Don't use 'v'
Never say 'ísť v škole'. Movement to a place always uses 'do' or 'na'.

Preguntas frecuentes
12 preguntasYes, but 'ísť na univerzitu' or 'ísť na výšku' is more common and precise for higher education.
It is irregular: 'išiel' (he went), 'išla' (she went), 'išli' (they went).
Because the preposition 'do' requires the genitive case, which changes the -a to -y.
