Talking about the near future

How do you talk about things that happen in the future?

You can talk about the future by using “going to” and "will".

 

You use “going to” when the future is probable and "will" when it is a spontaneous decision.

Subject + am + going to/will  + verb

                    are

                     is

For example: 

I forgot to clean my shoes! I will do it after dinner.

I am meeting my friends today and we are going to play a boardgame.

You use the present continuous when the plan is an arrangement.

Subject + am + -ing form

                     are

                      is

Tip: you use this form (the present continuous) when you use “aan het” in Dutch

• Ik ben aan het dansen
  
• I am dancing
  

Let’s practice!

I will give you 2 pictures. Please describe what is happening in these pictures using the present continuous 

(Subject + am/are/is + ww+ing). 

  

What do you think is going to happen to the people in the picture?

Write down a few sentences about these people

• What is the doctor going to do?
  
• What is going to happen to the patient?
  
• What are the nurses going to do?
  

Use "going to" (Subject + am/are/is + going to/will + ww)
