Introduction

Introduce yourself by adding an adjective (bijvoegelijk naamwoord) before your name.

It has to start with the same letter as your own name. 

Lesson goal

At the end of this lesson you know how to use tag questions and to be going in speaking exercises.

To be going to

You use "to be going to + base verb" when:

- Someone makes a prediction and there is evidence for it.

-Someone is planning something or has made a decision that is already fixed or previously agreed upon.

To be going to

Someone is planning something / makes a decision  

Frits: "Patrick told me you're going on holiday."  

Marly: "Yes, we are going to invite our dearest friends to come with us."  

--> It has already been agreed upon --> to be going to + base verb

Someone makes a prediction  

He read that the weather is going to be great next week.  

--> There is evidence (he read it / sees it happening) --> to be going to + base verb

Tag questions

Tag questions

- If the sentence is positive, the tag question is negative.

- If the sentence is negative, the tag question is positive.

She's a doctor, isn't she?

You haven't seen this film, have you?

With can, do, to be, and to have, repeat the verb in the tag question.

If these forms are not in the sentence, use the correct form of to do (do, does, did).
