Hii❤. I have read that will should be used in all future cases if we are in a formal setting. Also , i cannot quite understand offer with woll

[@oxfordenglishnow]

Hi! ❤ Yes, in formal English, "will" is generally used to indicate future actions or intentions, as it’s clear and direct. When it comes to offers with "will": Using "will" for offers is common and can express a willingness to help. For example: "I will help you with that." "We will arrange the meeting for you." These statements indicate a readiness to assist or offer something. Let me know if you'd like more examples or clarification on any of this! 😊

[@bozok6360]

@oxfordenglishnow thank you so much🙂‍↕️. I have problem with formal English since most of the books focus on casual speech , daily conversations neglecting that part. If you have time will you make a video about please .

[@tarekkarm6714]

Please I really need an answer to my question They are training hard . I'm sure they will or are going to win ? Thanks for your outstanding explanation

[@tarekkarm6714]

,?

[@oxfordenglishnow]

Both "will win" and "are going to win" can be correct, but they convey slightly different nuances regarding certainty and intent. "Will Win" Usage: "Will" is often used to express a prediction based on personal belief or spontaneous decisions. Example: "They are training hard. I'm sure they will win." Nuance: This suggests a confident prediction based on the speaker's belief or knowledge. It emphasizes the speaker's certainty about the future event. "Are Going to Win" Usage: "Are going to" is used to indicate a planned action or a prediction based on present evidence. Example: "They are training hard. I'm sure they are going to win." Nuance: This suggests that there is present evidence (their hard training) leading to the prediction. It emphasizes the cause-and-effect relationship between their current actions and the future outcome. Conclusion In your sentence, both options are grammatically correct and can be used. The choice depends on the emphasis you want to convey: If you want to highlight your confident prediction based on your belief, use "will win." If you want to highlight the prediction based on the present evidence (their hard training), use "are going to win." Given the context you provided, "are going to win" might be slightly more appropriate because it connects their current hard training with the expected outcome. Final Sentence: "They are training hard. I'm sure they are going to win." This sentence clearly shows that their hard training is the basis for your confident prediction of their victory.

Good morning, I think the right answer might be: he’s going to have a holiday and then he’s going to do a computer course. Sam has already decided about his future.

[@oxfordenglishnow]

Well done Valentina! You are right!

[@borkrasevec759]

yea i think that is correct i hope

Ma'am, one question - The company employs local people as far as possible. VS The company employs local people as far as it is possible. Which is the correct between the two sentences ?

[@oxfordenglishnow]

Hi, both are correct but the first one is better. I hope that helps!

[@peacelover3208]

@@oxfordenglishnow ma'am, make a video on "AWAY"

[@samin21]

thank you for replying Mam I want to ask about "there " Sometimes "there word" comes in the beginning of the sentences In that time how to decide "there word" works like a adverb or dummy subject "These sentences is found on internet." 1 Where there is brought forward loss or loss is to be carried forward. 2. There is started to establish from code as recived a particular word....... Please reply 🙂🙂

[@oxfordenglishnow]

Hi shubham, In the first sentence, we use there is and there are when we first refer to the existence or presence of someone or something. The second sentence doesn't make sense. Can you check it and get bac k to me? Many thanks, 🙏🏻

[@alwinundegard]

How is it always possible to know if the decision was made before speaking.

[@oxfordenglishnow]

It is not but if you use a certain structure this is what it implies.

[@koramisr239]

is having / He is doing (It's an arrangement)

[@oxfordenglishnow]

He is going to have a holiday and he is going to do…

[@koramisr239]

Planned???

[@sarahjanefinet]

@@koramisr239 That's right. It has all been planned, so they have decided before the present time. Well done!

[@koramisr239]

But I think we should use present continuous tense with arrangements and preparations.

[@AtifA.Choudhry]

He is going to have a holiday and then he is going to do a computer programming course. Kindly confirm if that is correct.

[@oxfordenglishnow]

This is correct! Sam has already planned everything so it is going to.

[@samin21]

Hello mam I am from India .I will try to explain what I am asking . Normally we use "there" for showing existence (person, something ) like this There is a pen. Above after "there is" has come a noun But here sentences follow this structure There+ is/are + verb3/verb ing+ object (original subject) As. There is killed ravan on stage. There is lying a book. Aslo this is used in clauses As. This is the place where there is given a book. Can we use like these sentences If these structures are correct And any exception in these structures. So please tell me Because it is very important for my exams. Please reply 🙏🙏

[@oxfordenglishnow]

Hi raghvendra, There is A killed ravEn on stage. This is correct. There is lying a book. This does not work. This is the place where there is given a book. This sentence doesn't work either. Maybe you could say, " This is the place where a book was given." I hope that helps. 🙏🏻

[@sunkaraeliya2889]

What does "intend to do something"mean in English?Is there any difference between plans and intentions?

[@oxfordenglishnow]

Hi sunkara, intentions are what you hope will happen whereas a plan has gone further in organising something. It has actually been planned. I hope that helps!

[@peacelover3208]

Sources said in 2020 Assembly polls, Peter trailed in several wards of his own constituency. Q - if it is a Complex Sentence, why 'comma' is used before the dependent clause, instead of 'that' ? Q - Or, is the second part of the sentence absolute-phrase ?

[@oxfordenglishnow]

Hi Peace LOVER, you can use that too. In fact I think it is better to. It is a question of style. I hope that helps!

[@peacelover3208]

NO LESS VITAL VS NOT LESS VITAL Which is the correct between the two sentences ?

[@oxfordenglishnow]

Hi Peace LOVER, no less vital is the correct phrase. I hope that helps!

[@peacelover3208]

@@oxfordenglishnow ma'am, NOT is an adverb. So, why can't we use it before the adjective - LESS VITAL ?

Sentence Structure : "Sub + Stative Verb + Noun + Adjective" Ex : She + claims + voter survey + fraud. Is this Sentence structure correct ?
