Grammar Series - 'Will' vs. 'Be Going to'

[@drackonr4557]

Great lesson !!!

[@eds2888]

This video should be prompted to the foreign learners in Asia, Hong Kong in particular. They actually acquire much more English knowledge but most aren't aware of using present continuous tense to present the idea of planned activities. Tutor Maple is brilliant.

[@mapleleafesl6162]

Thanks for the kind words and for watching! Please share with your friends :-)

[@ronenr1405]

E Ds I absolutely agree, man! I’m trying to help put owe teacher to promote his great channel anywhere I could. Let’s do it altogether 👍🏻 Have you subscribed already? ✅

[@ronenr1405]

E Ds when I first decided to help Andrew in promoting his great channel a year ago there were about 4500 subscribers, now the number is over 15000. But it’s still very few.... what shall we do?!

[@lienho3449]

[@nawarnawar5822]

we also use the present continuous to talk about future situations, but you didn't mention it

[@ronenr1405]

Sometimes we even use Present Simple to talk about future, e.g. when we talk about timetables. “I teach on Monday at 8:30”. Great lesson ✅👍🏻

[@nawarnawar5822]

Ronen R your example talks about habbitual situation rather than future

[@ronenr1405]

Nawar Nawar Yea, but is also refers to timetables. I teach in next Monday at 8:30. My trains leaves at 19:30 The concert begins tomorrow at 21.00 And so oo

[@mapleleafesl6162]

Nawar Nawar, this is mostly because the lesson focused on 'will vs. going to'. But you are correct: present continuous is indeed used for future situations. But, as Ronen R suggested above, simple present can also be used to discuss future situations as in his examples above. Thanks for watching as always.

[@skylendias]

Hi, Sir what are the differences between going to and be going to in a future tense sentence? For Example, I'm going to go to a party tomorrow vs I'm going to a party tomorrow

[@mapleleafesl6162]

In that case, there is not much difference. Both would mean that you have made a plan in advance to do something. For instance, If I booked a hotel for a vacation in Italy, I could say: I'm going to Italy next summer OR I'm going to go to Italy next summer. They would have the same meaning.

[@skylendias]

@@mapleleafesl6162 Sir, I have attended numerous English classes and watched countless KZbin videos, but I must tell you, you are the best teacher I have ever encountered. It's disheartening that you ceased uploading videos, yet I hope you are finding happiness wherever you are.

[@mapleleafesl6162]

@@skylendias Thank you for the kind words. I just don't have any time in my life to be making these videos anymore. Glad you have gotten some value out of the ones I did make though.

[@vitalymashkovskiy6659]

Thank you Andrew.

[@mapleleafesl6162]

My pleasure!

[@thanhhien4018]

Wife : Dear , I'm going to give a birth to a son in 2 weeks .I want to buy some necessary things for us . Will you go to the suppermarket with me ? Husband : Yes ,I will .I think I will be free on Friday afternoon .

[@mapleleafesl6162]

Great!

[@apguerrero]

Second comment!! Amazing video. I'm going to practice it.

[@mapleleafesl6162]

Yes, please do. After all, practice makes perfect :-)

[@ronenr1405]

Américo Pineda I agree. This is a great channel. I also watch again many of its videos from time to time....👍🏻

[@אדיזיפ]

it is a great video

[@MuhammadRiaz-fi8vs]

Sir, your way of teaching is impressive but make writing visible using a dark black marker because a reader is unable to read dim writing.Thanks.

[@RomanL.N]

Andrew, why didn't you send me your new lesson?

[@mapleleafesl6162]

I'm sorry, Roman, I don't follow.

[@nalumagaritah1276]

Thank u so much sir I really appreciate

[@mapleleafesl6162]

Most welcome

[@ghazalrezaeianzadeh1419]

👌👌👌

[@joaoluizdiasesteves8500]

I have a question in tag questions. Can I say? I am going to the party, aren't you? As Andrew said ,will, is more appropriate to use in tag questions. ex: "You won't come to the meeting, will you?"

[@mapleleafesl6162]

In your sentence above, you'd need to say: I am going to the party, aren't I? But this would be strange because it sounds like you can't remember if you're going to the party or not. Your second sentence is perfect, however.

[@ali.bilici]

I am Turkish. I am learning English because I want to improve myself

[@mapleleafesl6162]

Keep going!

[@user-cn9pi2vb7l]

my guts are telling me that my girlfriend is going to leave me.

[@mapleleafesl6162]

Oh no, too bad (but a nice sentence).

[@Taste4047]

I had to had this food, I had to there, I had to had there, I had to had that time, I had to go, I had to their, What is exactly meaning of this " had to had " ???

[@mapleleafesl6162]

Truthfully, I'm not sure. None of the above is correct except 'I had to go'.

[@onaliem7616]

hi andrew! i'd like to watch your video but your handwriting so small and not clear.please make it bigger and more clearly .thank you

[@ronenr1405]

He is a great teacher, isn’t he?! 👌🏼

[@mapleleafesl6162]

Maybe watch it on your laptop instead of your small smart phone?
