Going to (I'm) going to (do) to talk about intentions: 'I am going to do something' = I have already decided to do it, I intend to do it: - There's a film on television tonight. Are you going to watch it? No, I'm tired. I'm going to have an early night. - I hear Ruth has won some money. What is she going to do with it? She's going to buy a new car. - Have you made the coffee yet? I'm just going to make it. (just = right at this moment) - This food looks horrible. I'm not going to eat it. A little more about going to: to talk about future arrangements: - He's going to stay with us for a week. to make predictions about the immediate future when there is some evidence to show what is going to happen: - Look at those black clouds. It's going to rain in a minute. ing future exercises Home |
