Hi guys,
Forgot to write the post yesterday but I don´t suppose you rushed home to read it :-). Better late than never, yesterday we started with chapter 7 (reading A) and talked about “be going to” which is one way of expressing the future. Watch this short video from Realenglish and listen to how “be going to” is used:
Very often people don´t say “going to“; instead they say “gonna“. Listen to this song:
