Test # 2

WILL or BE GOING TO...
Hope this will give you all some ideas.

WILL has a neutral meaning. We use it to talk about facts in the future.

ex: I will be twenty next Friday.

We use BE GOING TO for an intention, something we have already decided to do.

ex: Tom is going to sell his car.

Any questions, please post them here. Thank you.

Cordially,

Complete the conversation. Put in "Will "or "be going to" with the verbs given.


Example :
Vicky : Have you got a ticket for the play?
Daniel : Yes, I'm going to see (see) it on Thursday.

Harriet : The alarm's going. It's making an awful noise.
Mike : OK, I' ll switch (switch) it off.

1. Daniel : Did you buy this book?
