Performance Indicator: Identify grammatical structures and time expressions related to the Simple Future Tense (To Be + Going To)

structures to strengthen sentences composition.

Basic information:

This form of the future tense in English requires at least three elements for its construction; These elements are:

1. The conjugations of the verb TO BE in present tense (AM, ARE, IS)

2. The expression "GOING TO"

3. A main verb in its simple form (READ, VISIT, TELL,….)

Here, we have some examples:

• She is going to read the newspaper at noon.

(Ella va a leer el períodico al mediodía)

• Are you going to visit your grandparents?

(vas a visitar a tus abuelos?)

• They are not going to tell you anything.

(Ell@s no van a decirte nada.)

This verb tense is mainly used to refer to plans or intentions that we intend to carry out in a short time; it is also used to make predictions taking as a reference elements that can indicate, with a certain level of certainty, that these predictions will be a fact.
