For those of you who don’t know, Yellowknife (population

Anyway the best thing about Yellowknife is every winter there’s
this really cool festival. It's called the Snowking Winter Festival.
Basically, every year they build a really big ice castle on the
frozen lake. Then they have loads of concerts and activities
for kids. They even show films on the walls of the castle. I'm

 * ] PRESENT CONTINUOUS / 70 BE GOING TO
azione programmata / intenzione
Quando si parla di programmi futuri si può usare il present continuous oppure to be going to ma
confronta il diverso uso:
SI USA

PRESENT CONTINUOUS + espressione di TO BE GOING TO

tempo futuro
e per parlare di un'azione programmata
(che si è sicuri di realizzare)
We're moving to London next month.
Ci trasferiamo a Londra il mese prossimo.
(& gia deciso)
e per esprimere un'intenzione
(che non si è sicuri di realizzare)
We're going to move to London.
Abbiamo intenzione di trasferirci a Londra.
(ma ancora non ne siamo certi)

Usa questa strategia:
Come si può vedere dagli
esempi nella tabella si usa to
be going to quando il verbo al
futuro può essere sostituito
con "avere intenzione di fare
qualcosa".
In caso di azione programmata
il present continuous inglese
corrisponde all'indicativo
presente italiano.
———
— ’
— _ Attenzione!!!
e Il present continuou…di un'azione
programmata/progetto futuro se accompagnato da un'espressione di
tempo futuro o se è chiaro dal contesto che si tratta di un'azione
futura. Nel caso di dubbio se l'azione sia presente o futura, si
preferisce usare la forma to be going to.
They're having a party. (Quando? In questo momento o in futuro?)
diventa:
They're going to have a party.
e Per motivi di stile, generalmente non si usa to be going to con il
verbo go.
Si dice: I'm going to Scotland next summer.
