Be + going to + base verb

New

Use am / is / are, then going to, then the base verb. Do not drop be, and do not add -s or -ing to the verb after to. Am / is / are, далі going to, далі базове дієслово. Не пропускайте be і не додавайте -s чи -ing до дієслова після to.

subject+ am / is / are+ going to+ base verb

  • We are going to watch a film tonight. Сьогодні ввечері ми збираємося дивитися фільм.
  • Are you going to call him? Ти збираєшся йому зателефонувати?
  • She going to buy a car.
  • She is going to buy a car.

Типова помилка: Українське «збираюсь» — одне слово, тому легко пропустити be: I going to … Правильно: I am going to …
