Preparando tu primera pregunta.
La estructura
Cuatro partes: sujeto, la forma correcta de be, going to, y después el verbo simple.
I am going to start on Monday.
Solo cambia la primera pieza. Going to es fijo, y el verbo no lleva nunca terminación.
Contar un plan
Es la manera natural de contestar a una pregunta sobre el futuro cuando ya lo has pensado:
What are you doing this summer? — We*’re going to** drive through Norway.*
Contestar We will drive through Norway daría a entender que la idea se te acaba de ocurrir.
Predicciones que puedes señalar
La prueba suele venir en la misma frase:
- She’s driving far too fast. She*’s going to** crash.*
- There are no clouds left. It*’s going to** be a hot day.*
Was going to
La forma de pasado dice que el plan existía y no llegó a pasar:
I was going to call you, but the battery died.
Es la manera estándar de explicar una intención rota, y casi siempre viene con el motivo pegado.
Dónde se tuerce para un hispanohablante
«Iba a llamarte, pero…» es I was going to call you, but… y se traduce literalmente, así que esta forma sale bien casi siempre.
El único punto que falla es el auxiliar: «vamos a salir a las seis» no tiene nada que corresponda a are, y de ahí sale We going to leave at six. En inglés la estructura son cuatro piezas y ninguna es opcional.
Todas las formas
| Sujeto | Forma completa | Forma corta |
|---|---|---|
| I | I am going to work | I'm going to work |
| you, we, they | you are going to work | you're going to work |
| he, she, it | she is going to work | she's going to work |
