hello and welcome to speak American English with Lyman Holton
in this lesson we're going to talk about American English grammar are you ready
let's begin going to two simple words that you're going to use a lot speaking
English they're so simple going to going through what can we do with those two
words well we can talk about the future something that's going to happen in the
future all right think about that the future
going to now here we have a list of things we could say that are positive
for example I am of course really you make a contraction I'm I am going to be
late I'm going to be like I'm going to be tired I'm going to be angry now if we
switch these I and M and I we've just created a question am I going to be late
am I going to be tired and of course we're going to rise up a little bit on
that last word we elevate that pitch of our voice a little bit to indicate it's
a question so we have question format here very simple look I am am I she is
or he is is she is he it is is it we are are we you are are you
of course we're not really going to elevate our voice when we're this far in
the beginning of the sentence we have to go get around here and then we have what
we're actually going to do in the future now let's see let's go with this now
going to that's fine as positive if we just put not in front of going to
we're going to have the negative right I am NOT going to be late I will be on
time I am NOT going to eat a snack I have to watch those calories and trim
down a little bit but that's the negative now the negative doesn't work
quite that simple with the questions and we're not going to get into the negative
for questions in this lesson that will be in another
lesson so let's let's walk through these okay let's just talk our way through
them no repeat what I'm saying please I am going to be late am i going to be
late I am going to be tired am I going to be tired now we have s last H E is a
way to write she and he together so you couldn't use them both okay
I haven't forgotten how to spell so she is going to go swimming she's going to
go swimming is she going to go swimming maybe it's a man a boy yeah he is going
to go swimming maybe he's going to go swimming after
school is he going to go swimming this afternoon it is now it we might be
talking about an animal a dog a car we might be talking about the weather time
we use it when we refer you to the weather
whoo it's a sunny day today isn't it beautiful outside hit it or it's almost
10 o'clock time right okay so it is going to
rain is it going to rain it is going to be tired it is going to be tired maybe
you have a horse and you're riding the horse for quite a while and somebody
says who that horse is going to be tired horse yet it okay is it going to be
tired how about we now if we use we we're talking about or you would be
talking about yourself and one or more other people right so you could say we
are going to play outside we're going to play outside we're going to be late
we're going to be late maybe you're driving your car to work in the morning
there's a lot of traffic you didn't leave very early we're going
to be late that's something that you and the other
person or more people would be talking about because you're in it together
you're doing it together we we are going shopping we're going to go shopping all
that sort of thing now someone in the car might ask are we going to be late
okay and another person we are going to be late or yes we are going to be late
how about you are now the word you we use that when you're talking to one
person would you please help me there could also be used when you're talking
to more than one person perhaps you step into a room and you see two children
doing something in the room maybe they're not supposed to be and you're
saying like what are you doing more than one right more than one and it works
it's correct English so we end up using are with you whether you're talking
about one person or more than one person you could be talking to a roomful of
people are what are you going to do after class today you might be asking
your class what are you going to do after work today
you might ask one person are you going to eat a snack are you going to eat a
snack are you going to go bowling could be many different things so positive the
question and what we're going to do now remember we're talking about the future
when we're using going to okay could be not negative could be positive could
just your question correct now think about the not part let's run through a
few of these because I want you to repeat what I'm saying so if you say it
with not in it it's in your head right you you practice for this moment at
least saying it that's important in English you have to pronounce the words
actually say them and you have to say them many times to get comfortable with
them so there's a few things I can say in Korean but only because I've said
them so many times when I first say them oh it's like I'm lost in a maze I just I
can't remember what to say and then if I want to tell someone hey I learned how
to say this and I go to say it to him and vapor lock brain lock I can't do it
it won't come out I have to uh but of the phrases that I've said so many times
it just comes out of my mouth so easy that's very important to practice okay
so let's go with I am NOT going to go swimming I'm not going to go swimming
she is not going to play outside if you're talking about your daughter
she is not going to play outside now of course we were really saying this in the
sentence what are we really going to say she isn't going to play outside I'm not
going to eat a snack I'm not going to be late not negative it is not going to
snow it is not going to snow it isn't going to snow we are not going to be hot
maybe you're riding in your car you've got the air conditioner on the AC and
okay we aren't going to be hot we are not going to be hot
we aren't we're not those are both acceptable contractions okay and we
could go on and on and on with this are we clear
I think so thank you for watching this lesson
and I look forward to seeing you at our next lesson goodbye for now
