Today we are going to talk about plans in the future using going to. En esta
LECCION 17 hablaremos de como expresar planes en el futuro.
Hoy les presentamos un nuevo tiempo que esta relacionado al futuro. Se trata de la
estructura going to. Es muy similar al PRESENT CONTINUOUS ya que requiere del
verbo to be y going es el verbo go mas la terminacin ing conocido como GERUND.
Tengo que hacerles recordar que para que ustedes hablen en ingls no solo es importante
saber la estructura sino saber en que momento usarla. Esto se logra por analizar la
situacion y saber el uso correcto de las estructuras aprendidas. Por ejemplo, cuando
necesitamos hablar de rutinas usamos el PRESENT SIMPLE (How often do you go to
the dentist?) Usamos el PRESENT CONTINUOUS para hablar de acciones que estan
sucediendo en el momento (What are you doing?). Para expresar habilidades usamos
CAN y para hablar de tiempos definidos del pasado el PAST SIMPLE.
As que recuerden que no es necesario traducir porque esto les traera problemas. Es
mejor PENSAR en Ingls y esto solo se logra con prctica.
