Let speak english here!

[Nataly_]

Yes, it's clear that it's not about cheese you dream (disrespect!) I used it to express that I have changed my mind, and never had issues with understanding.

What's wrong with this?

keep calm and carry on(c)

 

[Lloyd]

keep calm and carry on(c)

Sure thing! 2:1 then

Btw, have you prepared CV already? Are there any test tasks? Do you have interview appointment?

2. To be going to
Конструкция to be going to переводится как «собираться». Мы используем её, когда говорим о том, что мы что-то точно сделаем в будущем.

I am going to learn Italian.

I think it isn't correct... we use "be going to" when we have intentions, plans or agreements to do something

 

[Каракатица]

you have written the same thing in other way

 

[Lloyd]

Right, I'm not sure that this is precisely correct. I believe the difference is the following:

"Going" is about personal personal intentions. It's like I will try to do this, but I may fail, or someone or something may prevent me do doing this. I.e. it's not about agreements or plans, or even

"Will" is about something that will happen in any case, like sunrising or my breakfast, or the beauty of your smile.

And well, the most appropriate form for appointments like Nataly's interview, or train schedule is present simple.

tell me please, how I can translate these two sentences?
I'll learn English.
I'm going to learn English.

and what's the difference between them)

Я выучу англ мову vs. Я собираюсь учить англ мову.

 

[arek]

Я собираюсь учить англ мову.

you agree that it's about intentions

"Going" is about personal personal intentions.

and you said

I.e. it's not about agreements or plans, or even

but if I have plans to learn English whole next year, then I talk about my plans
I'm going to learn English whole next year because I planned it earlier.

and if I have some agreements with some friends of mine to learn English, then I can say
My friends and I are going to learn English (because we agreed to do it when we were in a pub last night).

agreements)

Yes, friends are excellent example.

I.e. we were going in euro-trip with 10 friends. Today we stay in Berlin, just my girlfriend and I. All other people had very serious reasons to stay in Kharkiv.

What I mean could be illustrated by another example. For example you have a chance to pay and to apply for Cambridge University (you know this place where Newton studied physics) and they accepted you. In this case it's not like you are going. It's like you will be in Cambs next year.

Do you see the difference?

 

[arek]

Do you see the difference?

yes, I see the difference. I agree, in that case we can use will because we know that for sure and have no doubts)

 

[Lloyd]

I wonder where is Natasha-DoubleUnderscore. She looks very proficient in rules. Maybe she could not only find mistakes but explain some of them.

That is true. Never give up...

By the way the future tense about.
Emma knows everything about it. She explains that present continuous and "to be going" form we use when we are sure about the near future.
As for "will" form, we use it as a common form.
For example. "Aliens will occupate our planet in 2028". We are not sure about it. Are not we?

 

[arek]

For example. "Aliens will occupate our planet in 2028". We are not sure about it. Are not we?

in this case we use Will to make predictions

by the way)
We are not sure about it, are not we?
(in case if you wanted to use question tags)
