Motion info
идти́/ходи́ть is a verb of motion pair:
· идти́ is unidirectional → go right now or in a specific single trip.
· ходи́ть is multidirectional → habitual movement, repeated trips, or there-and-back movement.
Directionality and Aspect
идти́/ходи́ть are both imperfective and thus focus on the process. Use the perfective aspect partner instead if you want to describe a completed action (идти́ → пойти́ and ходи́ть → сходи́ть).
When choosing a verb, step 1 is directionality (one trip vs repeated/there and back), then step 2 is aspect (process/result, ongoing/completed).
Usage info
(1) Unidirectional verb of motion (2) Travel by foot, especially in the past tense. (3) Note: used with trains 'Поезд идет': 'The train is travelling along'
