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.

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.
