                                                    GOING TO

O going to é uma expressão utilizada no inglês para falar de planos e intenções futuras.

Ele é usado quando a pessoa já decidiu o que vai fazer. Ou seja, quando uma ação já está planejada e irá acontecer num futuro próximo.

Regras

Confira abaixo as regras de formação do going to:

Afirmativa (Affirmative Form): sujeito + verbo to be + going to + infinitivo do verbo principal sem “to”.

Exemplo: I am going to work. (Eu irei trabalhar)

Negativa (Negative Form): sujeito + verbo to be + not + going to + infinitivo do verbo principal sem “to”.

Exemplo: I am not going to work. (Eu não irei trabalhar)

Interrogativa (Interrrogative Form): verbo to be + sujeito + going to + infinitivo do verbo principal sem “to”

Exemplo: Am I going to work? (Eu irei trabalhar?)

Will e Going To

Tanto o will como o going to são usados no tempo futuro. No entanto, o will é utilizado para fazer previsões no futuro, ou seja, trata-se de um futuro incerto.

Com ele, é muito comum o uso dos verbos: think (achar), hope (esperar), guess (achar) e to be sure (ter certeza).

Além disso, expressões que geram incerteza também são comuns: probably (provavelmente), possibly (possivelmente), maybe (talvez), perhaps (talvez), etc.

Exemplos:

I think there will be a nuclear accident. (Eu acho que vai haver um acidente nuclear)

I’m sure there will be more homeless people in the future. (Tenho certeza que no futuro haverá mais pessoas desabrigadas)
