ESL Grammar: FUTURE TENSE (6) – “going to”

In this ESL grammar exercise, students learn to make future tense sentences with the pattern “be verb + going to + verb.” Students then practice correcting the errors in various sentences containing this pattern.

ESL Grammar: Forming the Future Tense with “Going To”

To talk about future plans or intentions, we use “going to” followed by the base form of the verb. Here are some examples:

  • I am going to visit my friends next weekend.
  • She is going to start a new project tomorrow.
  • They are going to travel to Italy next month.

The English grammar lesson below introduces the future tense and sentence patterns with “going to” in a clear and simple manner that is easy for beginner English learners to understand. Our series of ESL grammar lessons on subjects and verbs introduce these concepts and reinforce them through helpful and instructive exercises.

This lesson is available for free download, and you can download many more English grammar lessons focusing on basic English tenses (present tense, present continuous tense, past tense, future tense) in our comprehensive, beginner-level ESL grammar textbook Great, Great Grammar! (Book 2: Tenses).
