    “Going to” and present continuous: future tenses

    1 – Going to:

    “Going to” é usado para indicar algo que, ao que parece, acontecerá.

    - Look at all this traffic! We are going to be late.

    - Be careful! You are going to fall!

    “Going to” é usado também para expressar planos e decisões tomadas.

    - We are going to buy a new car. We already sold our old one.

    - Jane isn’t going to stay in college after July. She is going to look for a job.

    2 – Present Continuous:

    O present continuous é usado quando já foram tomadas providências ou


    feitas combinações referentes ao futuro, ou para expressar que existe um
    horário preestabelecido. Quando o presente continuous se refere ao futuro,
    ele é utilizado com uma indicação temporal. Ex: next week, on Friday, at
    seven o’clock etc.

    - I am meeting Ann for dinner tomorrow night.

    - I have a busy week. Tomorrow I am painting the kitchen, and on Friday I


    am cleaning the basement.

    RESUMÃO

    - Going to = algo está prestes a acontecer: “Estou prevendo isto”.

    - Going to = plano ou intenção: “Estou pretendendo isto”.

    - Present continuous + indicação temporal: “Tomei providências, combinei


    algo”.

    OBS: Na maioria dos casos, tanto o presente continuous quanto o going to


    podem ser usados, sem alteração de sentido. Ex:

    - I am going to meet them tonight.

    - I am meeting them tonight.
