Structure of Going to The structure is: subject + be + going + infinitive The verb be is conjugated (past, present or future). subject be (not) going infinitive + I am going to buy a new car. + I'm going to go swimming. - He is not going to take the exam. - It isn't going to rain. ? Are you going to paint the house? Use of Going to Going to - intention We use going to when we have the intention to do something before we speak. We have already made a decision before speaking. Look at these examples: Jo has won the lottery. He says he's going to buy a Porsche. We're not going to paint our bedroom tomorrow. When are you going to go on holiday? In these examples, we had an intention or plan before speaking. The decision was made before speaking. Going to - prediction We often use going to to make a prediction about the future. Our prediction is based on present evidence. We are saying what we think will happen. Here are some examples: The sky is very black. It's going to snow. It's 8.30! You're going to miss the train! I crashed the company car. My boss isn't going to be very happy! In these examples, the present situation (black sky, the time, damaged car) gives us a good idea of what is going to happen. La forma GOING TO seguida de infinitivo se utiliza:
1) Para expresar la intencin de realizar en el futuro alguna accin que ya est decidida. What are you going to do at the weekend? Qu hars durante el fin de semana? I'm going to visit a friend near Bogota. Visitar (Tengo intenciones de visitar) a un amigo cerca de Bogot.
2) Para predecir acontecimientos futuros basndose en una evidencia presente. (Estos acontecimientos suelen estar situados en un futuro prximo.) Look at those clouds. It's going to rain. Mira esas nubes. Llover. (Va a llover.) Este ltimo uso no debe confundirse con el del tiempo Present Continuous el cual indica una accin que est realizando en el momento en que se la menciona.
Compara ahora estas dos frases: Going to + infinitivo: I'm going to answer it. (Lo responder; Voy a responderlo.) Present continuous: I'm answering it. (Lo estoy respondiendo).
FORMACION DE LA ESTRUCTURA "GOING TO + INFINITIVO". Esta estructura se construye con las formas del tiempo Present Continuous del verbo go (I'm going, She's going, etc.) ms el infinitivo del verbo principal precedido de la partcula to (to visit, to answer, etc.).
Practica un poco leyendo en voz alta estos ejemplos: I'm going to visit some friends this afternoon. He's going to watch TV tomorrow. She's going to leave in ten minutes. We're going to play tennis at six o'clock. You're going to paint the kitchen on Friday. They're going to go to the movies next week.
PRESTA MUCHA ATENCION AHORA !! Cuando el verbo en infinitivo que sigue a la forma going to es el mismo verbo go, la frase puede parecer un poco confusa a causa de la repeticin verbal. Este tipo de frases se suelen abreviar de la siguiente manera:
En lugar de: We're going to go to the cinema on Friday. Se omite to go y se dice: We're going to the cinema on Friday.
Y en las preguntas suele omitirse tambin, a fin de evitar la redundancia verbal con el verbo go. Observa:
En lugar de: Where are you going to go? Se omite to go y se dice: Where are you going to?
Las formas negativas e interrogativas se construyen de acuerdo con las normas que seguramente ya conoces. Las formas negativas se construyen colocando la partcula not entre el verbo auxiliar y la forma going to. Observa:
I'm not going to play tennis tomorrow. He's not / He isn't going to watch TV this evening.
Las formas interrogativas se construyen invirtiendo el orden del sujeto y del verbo auxiliar. De este modo:
Are you going to stay at home tonight? Is it going to rain? What is he going to do?
"GONNA": COLOQUIALMENTE HABLANDO. En el habla coloquial la forma verbal going to a menudo se pronuncia /gona/ o /gana/, lo que a veces se refleja en la forma escrita gonna. No obstante, esta forma coloquial no debe utilizarse en el lenguaje escrito habitual, limitando su uso al lenguaje informal, como el empleado, por ejemplo, en la transcripcin de canciones modernas.
Aqu tienes un mini-dilogo para que practiques cmo utilizan los norteamericanos el famoso gonna:
A: What are you gonna do tonight? B: I'm gonna stay home. A: What are you gonna do for your birthday? B: I'm gonna go out with some friends. A: Where are you gonna go? B: We're gonna go to a restaurant.
