Will vs. Going to Internet minutes 0

Presentation: Worksheet 15 http://busyteacher.org/20352-future-will-vs-

Ask students to read a text, minutes going-to-worksheet.html
and identify the future forms
‘to be going to + infinitive’,
‘will + infinitive’.
Put them in pairs, and ask
them to see if they can work
out how these forms are
used (both are followed by Markers
the infinitive)
Now ask them, still in pairs,
why those forms are used in
the text, and the difference
in meaning between them
(‘going to’ when you have
already planned what you’re Board
going to do, ‘will’ when
deciding at the moment what
to do in the future)
Put the correct answers on
the board
