📅 MY TRAVEL PLANS

When we talk about the future, we can talk about things we already plan or intend to do.

I’m going to visit my grandparents.
We’re going to travel by train.
She’s going to stay in a hotel.
They’re going to visit a museum.

🎒 BE GOING TO

We use be going to + verb to talk about future plans and intentions.

Subject	Example
I	I am going to travel.
You	You are going to travel.
He / She	He is going to travel.
We	We are going to travel.
They	They are going to travel.

Remember that the verb after going to stays in its base form:

I’m going to visit my aunt.
We’re going to take the train.
She is going to stay at a hotel.

❌ I’M NOT GOING TO…

We can use the negative form to say that something is not part of our plans.

Affirmative	Negative
I’m going to fly.	I’m not going to fly.
She is going to drive.	She isn’t going to drive.
We are going to stay there.	We aren’t going to stay there.
They are going to travel.	They aren’t going to travel.

❓ WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO?

We can ask about someone’s future plans with What are you going to…?

Question	Answer
What are you going to do?	I’m going to visit my cousins.
Where are you going to go?	I’m going to go to the beach.
How are you going to travel?	I’m going to travel by train.
Who are you going to travel with?	I’m going to travel with my family.

🗓️ PLANS IN YOUR CALENDAR

We can also use the Present Continuous when we talk about organised arrangements in the future.

When?	Plan
Friday	I’m meeting my friends.
Saturday morning	We’re travelling to the coast.
Saturday afternoon	We’re visiting the museum.
Sunday	We’re going home.

Here, the activity is already arranged. We often know when it is happening.

🔎 GOING TO OR PRESENT CONTINUOUS?

Both forms can talk about the future, but we can use them in slightly different ways.

Use	Example
be going to — plan or intention	I’m going to visit London this summer.
Present Continuous — organised arrangement	I’m meeting my cousin on Saturday.

At A2 level, the important thing is to recognise and use both forms when talking about future plans.

🌴 A WEEKEND TRIP

Read about Jack’s plans for the weekend.

Next weekend, Jack is going to the coast with his family. They are going to travel by train on Saturday morning. Jack is going to take his camera and his favourite book.

On Saturday afternoon, they are visiting a small museum near the beach. In the evening, they are having dinner at a restaurant. On Sunday, they are going to spend the morning on the beach.

Jack is very excited because he loves the sea. He isn’t going to take his school books with him. It’s a holiday!
