Alicia here discussing future plans in English is easy in this lesson you'll
learn how Cousteau and George are catching up at a restaurant let's watch
so Gustavo when will your family be here Louisa is going to bring the kids on
Friday and what are they going to do when they get here Louisa is going to
keep writing she also plans on starting a blog about American culture sounds
interesting how about the kids Sophie is going to go
to an international school half of the classes will be in Portuguese and the
other half in English she's young so she'll learn English easily yeah but
Lucas is going to go to a regular high school could be tough for him will he be
okay we think so he's been studying English a lot at home but it will be
pretty difficult at the beginning I think
now the lesson focused here's how to discuss future plans ready
do you remember how George asks Gustavo what his family members will do when
they arrive to the US and what are they going to do when they get here first is
the phrase what are next is the word they after
this is the phrase going to do and last is the phrase when they get here
together it's what are they going to do when they get here this sentence is
useful when you want to ask about what someone is going to do after they come
to a place for more than one person the structure is what are they going to do
when they get here the structure when asking about one person is what is he or
she going to do when he or she gets here now you try imagine your friend's
brother is moving to your town how do you ask about his plans after that
what is he going to do when he gets here now imagine that you want to ask a
friend what her sisters are going to do when she says they're coming over to her
house
what are they going to do when they get here do you remember how Gustavo
explained Louise's future plans Louise is going to keep writing first is
a contraction of Luiza and is Louise's next is the phrase going to after this
is the word keep and last is the word writing together
it's Luiza is going to keep writing in other words Luiza currently spends her
time writing and will continue to do so in the future the sentence structure is
a person plus is going to keep plus a word ending in ing now you try your
friend Dan has reached the age of retirement but he is going to continue
to work how would you respond to someone if they asked about Dan's future plans
Dan's going to keep working now imagine you are talking to your mother about
your brother you tell her that your brother was rejected from another job he
applied for how would you tell her that he will continue applying
he's going to keep applying do you remember what else Gustavo said about
Louise's future plans she also plans on starting a blog about American culture
first is the word she next is the word also
after this is the phrase plans on and last is the phrase starting a blog
together it's she also plans on starting a blog you can adapt this sentence when
you want to elaborate on a person's future plans the structure is a person
plus also plans on plus a word ending in ing plus additional information now you
try imagine you want to tell someone that
your friend Dan is also going to learn Chinese
dan also plans on learning Chinese now imagine that your brother is also going
to work part-time while he continues to apply to jobs how would you explain this
to your mother
