Background of the problem

"Be Going To"

The use of "be going to" in English is used to express a plan or intention to
do something in the future. This is part of the future tense in English. The
use of "be going to" is often confused with the use of "will" in expressing
future plans. Therefore, a clear understanding of the difference in their
usage is essential.
"Some" and "Any"
The use of "some" and "any" in English is also an important concept to
understand. "Some" is used in positive sentences, while "any" is used in
negative and interrogative sentences. A proper understanding of their usage
will help English learners to use these words correctly in everyday
conversation.
With a good understanding of "be going to" and the usage of "some" and

future plans and use affirmation words correctly according to the context of

CHAPTER II
DISCUSSION

1. Definition of BE GOING TO.

Be going to is a phrasal modal verb used to talk about the
future.
Be can be is, are, or am and is often abbreviated. Is is used
with singular nouns (such as: Adam, Clara) and third
person singular pronouns (such as: she, he, it); are with
plural nouns (such as: boys, women), plural pronouns (such
as: we, they) and you; while am with I. Like other modal
verbs, be going to is followed by the base form of the verb
(bare infinitive).
I am going to buy a boat tomorrow.I’m going to buy
a boat tomorrow.(Saya akan membeli perahu besok.)
I’m not going to buy a boat tomorrow.
(Saya tidak akan membeli perahu besok.)
Are you going to buy a boat tomorrow?
(Apakah kamu akan membeli perahu besok?)
We are not going to buy a boat tomorrow.We aren’t
going to buy a boat tomorrow.(Kami tidak akan
membeli perahu besok.)
She is going to buy a boat tomorrow.She’s going to buy
a boat tomorrow.(Dia akan membeli perahu besok.)
Is she going to buy a boat tomorrow?
(Apakah dia akan membeli perahu besok?)
She is not going to buy a boat tomorrow.She’s not
going to buy a boat tomorrow.She isn’t going to buy a
boat tomorrow.(Dia tidak akan membeli perahu besok.)

Be going to is commonly used to talk about future plans

5
 where the decision about the plan has been made
before it is said (intention). In addition, be going to can
also be used to predict something that we think will
happen or that we have evidence of at the moment.

Besides talking about the future, be going to can also

talk about the past. Was/were going to is used to
express unfulfilled intentions.

tentangnya malam ini.) intention.

3. Use of Some and Any.

Some and any can be used with countable nouns or
uncountable nouns.
I. Usage of some
a. Some is used in affirmative or positive sentences.

6
1. With countable nouns in plural form:
-This magazine has some beautiful pictures
-I want some books
-I saw some children just now
-Some men are wise
2. With countable nouns in the singular:
-He will come some day next week
-I will give you some sort of answer
-I know that I have met you some place
3. With uncountable singular nouns
-I have some money
-He gave me some advice
-I had some difficulty
-She gave me some wine
b. Some is used in interrogative sentences that expect a
positive answer
- Will you bring me some water?
- Would you like some tea?
II. Use of any
a. Any should be used in an interrogative sentence if the
questioner does not know whether the answer is yes or no.
- Have you any lessons to prepare?
- Have you any brothers in school?
b. Any should be used in a denying sentence
- I have not any books
- I have not any papers
c. Any is not used in positive statements/normal news
sentences except under strong stress in the sense of
anything, anyone, anytime, etc.
- Any one can do it
- You may come at any hour you like
7
 - You may come at any time
d. Not any = no
- I have not any books = I have no books
- There are not any pencils on the desk = There are no
pencils on the desk.
Use of Some and Any
Many people are often confused about how to use the
words Any and Some correctly in English.
Any and some are both determiners. Any often indicates a
negative sentence and some indicates a positive sentence.
In general, this is how they are used. For example:
I need some breads (+)
I dont need any breads (-)
Using in questions
A statement is different from a question. In question usage,
some and any are no longer positive or negative but rather...
Would you like some drink? ~ Offering / offering ~
Can I ask you some help? ~ Request~
Do you have any pencils? ~ Question~
The three sentences above are constructed with different
meanings, as indicated by the brackets.
The first sentence indicates offering. You can only use
some here, not any.
The second sentence conveys a request, you can also only
use some here instead of any.
The third question sentence uses any instead of some
because it is purely a question.
Note The use of some in questions that offer and request is
intended to encourage the person being offered or requested
to agree to what we are saying.

4. Differences in the Use of Any and Some.

8
Sometimes a student has difficulty in using the words ANY
and SOME, this is because there is a difference in the
meaning of the two. Here is the explanation:
SOME is used for:
News sentences.
Questions that require a yes answer.
Example:
I have some pencils (news sentence).
Have you some pencils?
Would you like some pencils?
ANY is used for:
Negative Sentences
Questions that do not require a Yes answer.
Example:
Sorry, I don't have a pencil (Negative Sentence)
Is there a policeman on Basuki Rahmat street?
Sometimes it is difficult for students to distinguish between
the use of ANY and SOME, because they both mean the
same thing. Here is the explanation:
SOME is used for:
Positive sentences.
Questions whose answer is Yes or questions when offering
or asking for something that exists. We use it for countable
and uncountable nouns.
Example:
I have some pencils (Positive sentence)
Do you have some pencils? (Request)
Would you like some pencils? (Offer)
ANY uses for:
Negative sentences.
An interrogative sentence whose answer we don't want is
Yes. We use it for countable and uncountable nouns.
9
 Example:
Sorry, I don't have a pencil (Negative sentence)
Is there a policeman on Basuki Rahmat street?
Ready to use? Use these sentences, in everyday life, after
you complete them of course... Some or Any.
1. Would you mind giving me.. advice?
2. Doesn't she have. Friend?
3. You don't deserve to do the decision.
4. I went to... work.
5. I didn't see the student yesterday..
