From the previous text:
Ad locum ubi proelium erat Britannōrum cum Rōmānīs ābimus.
We’ll go (away) to the place where there was a
battle between the Britons and the Romans.
Posted are the three tenses covered so far of eō,
īre: go. Look in particular at the similarity between the imperfect and the
future. You need to remember two things:
[i] -ba- / -bā- : those are imperfect tense markers
[ii] -bō / -bi- / -bu- : those are future tense markers; they’re
not the only ones but it’s important to become familiar with them because,
owing to the presence of the /b/ they can be misread for the imperfect.
