Most Russian verbs have one form in the present tense that translates the English ‘I do’ and ‘I am doing’: я делаю = ‘I do, am doing’, я работаю = ‘I work, am working’.
Going verbs in Russian have an extra ‘habitual’ general verb: я иду = ‘I am going’, я часто хожу = ‘I often go’.
ходить = ‘to go (habitually)’ is used in the past to describe how you used to go, or went regularly or often: когда мы жили на даче, мы часто ходили в лес = ‘when we lived at the dacha we often went (used to go) to the forest’ (лес = ‘forest, wood’). It is also used to describe a return trip: я ходил(a) в магазин =
‘I went to the shop, I’ve been to the shop’
вчера = ‘yesterday’; вчера вечером мы ходили в ресторан = ‘yesterday evening we went to the restaurant’.
EXAMPLES ￬
Where did you go yesterday evening? = Where were you yesterday evening?
Куда вы ходили (ты ходил) вчера вечером? = Где вы были вчера вечером?

Мы никуда не ходили, потому что у нас были гости.
