GRAMMAR HIGHTLIGHTS
Will, going to and the Present Progressive can all refer to future time.
1. Will can express and intention decided at the time of speaking (decided at the moment).
• El going to se usa para planes e intenciones que no tienen una fecha y hora concreta todavía, para
un futuro mas lejano.
• El presente progresivo se usa para planes personales del tipo que podrías poner en la agenda:
“mañana, 12:30, comida con Paul”. Así que normalmente son algo en el futuro cercano, porque
son específicos – a un momento concreto del futuro.
3. COMPLETE
Write down five plans for next year Write down five arrangements
(a far future, use “going to”) (a near future, use “present progressive”)
2. In 2 years I'm going to finish university 2 in the morning I'll go for a run
4. in four months I'm going to celebrate Christmas 4. I’m playing Xbox tonight
Analyze the situations if they refer to a decision taken at the moment (will), an arrangement or near
future (present progressive) or a plan or far future (going to).
