Future Plans

• I’m visiting my girlfriend’s family tomorrow.


• My family and I are going to visit Germany
some day.
• Next weekend I’m staying home to rest and
watch series.
• If I get the job, we are going to celebrate!
• Do you have some future plans?
Present continuous and be going to
Present continuous (verb +ing)
• The present continuous is more natural to
talk about arrangements – when you have
agreed on something or you have already
spend the money

• I’m playing football with my friends


tomorrow in the park. (time and place
agreed)
• I’m starting a Tae kwan do class next week (I
have already paid for it)
Be going to
• Be going to + infinitive tells people about a
plan or intention but maybe without a date
set.

• Some day I’m going to learn Japanesse. (you


haven’t started classes yet)

• When she gets paid, we are going to buy a


new TV. (we don’t know exactly when)
Be going to

Tip
• When we use the present continuous
with future, we usually mention the
time (tomorrow, next Friday, etc), we
don’t need to mention the time with be
going to.
• I’m going to play this Friday (future
arrangement)
• I’m playing (right now)
• I’m going to play in a band (future plan)
Writting

or family plans using present
continuous and be going to.

you going to celebrate Christmas?

• - mmm nah, I’ll do it tomorrow.
2. To make offers and promises.
• I will make you happy.
• Let me drive, we won’t be late.

Shall
We use shall in questions to make offers and
suggestions:

• Shall we split a pizza? (suggesting)
We can also use shall to ask for a suggestion:

• We often reply this kind of questions using Let’s +
infinivite.

teacher describing a place you would
like to visit and saying the reasons why
you like it.
