CONDITIONALS REVISION

English Conditionals | English Grammar - 7 E S L

BE GOING TO + INFINITIVE

We can express the future with BE GOING TO + infinitive.

Here are some examples to make sure this is clear:

I’m going to see a play tonight.
It's late so I don't think he's going to do his work tonight.
Look at those clouds. It's going to rain soon.
My favourite team is going to play tomorrow evening.

To form questions, we invert the subject (e.g, I, you) and "is/am/are." If we use a wh- question word, we insert it at the beginning of the sentence:

Who is going to read the next paragraph?
Are you going to speak at the conference?
What is she going to cook for dinner?
Are they going to sleep all day?
Where is your brother going to sleep when he visits you?

The structure BE GOING TO is normally used to indicate the future but with some type of connection to the present.

We use it in the following situations:

1. When we intend / plan to do something in the future.

The decision has been made before the moment of speaking.

They're going to retire to the beach - in fact they have already bought a little beach house.
I'm going to accept the job offer.
Next week I'm going to start a new diet.
Are you going to come to my party tomorrow?

2. When there are definite signs that something is going to happen.

Something is likely to happen based on the evidence or experience you have.
