USES:

How do we use going to?

going to for intention

We use going to when we have the intention to do something before we speak. We have already made a decision before speaking. Look at these examples:

• Jo has won the lottery. He says he's going to buy a Porsche.
• When are you going to go on holiday?

In these examples, we had an intention or plan before speaking. The decision was made before speaking.

going to for prediction

We often use going to to make a prediction about the future. Our prediction is based on present EVIDENCE . We are saying what we think will happen. Here are some examples:

• The sky is very black. It's going to snow.
• It's 8.30! You're going to miss your train!
• I crashed the company car. My boss isn't going to be very happy!

In these examples, the present situation (black sky, the time, damaged car) gives us a good idea of what is going to happen.

Now you have to do the following exercises you have on your book:
