Hello! Great explication! I always to stayed with doubt in relation the use of Going to and Present continuous. As English student I always used going to than Present continuous to communicate with my teachers at school. So, thank you so much. For me, it's very important to know the difference between going to and Present Continuous.
Thank you the vadio helps me solve the huge problem, I learnt will, be going to, and present continuous for future, but I really can't understand what's the difference between them
Can I ask a question? At the beginning, why do you use 'I'm going to tell you', not use I'm telling you. Isn't it a definite plan? Thanks for your explanation 🙏.
We use 'going to' when we have already made a decision before speaking. "I'm going to go to Liverpool next week" - this is a decision I have already made before I tell you. So, because Kee knew what he was going to teach you before he started the video, he used "going to". 😃
Can I ask one more question? If I say: I'm going to meet my friends this weekend. That's not a definite plan. If i say: I will meet my friends this weekend, isn't that a definite plan too ? Or is that different? Thanks. 🙏
We use 'going to' to talk about plans that have been decided in the past. "I'm going to meet up with Jim this weekend" - we've already made this plan. "Who wants to meet up with this weekend?" "I will" - we're making the plans as we speak. 😃
What about a sentence: "a comet is going to hit the Earth"? You won't say "the comet is hitting the Earth" to express future even though the comet is most definitely going to hit the Earth and is unlikely to change its plans ;)
I've heard something like that, but anyway it was not clear, but you made it perfect!) I just hope it's true, cause on internet there is a lot of bulshit 😄
"I'm going to tell you the differences between be going to and the present continuous..." Isn't it a definite plan to tell us the difference? Why would teachers says "Ok, today we are going to learn..." if it isn't a definite plan? I'm confused >.
what are the differences between be going to, present continuous (future plans) and future tense? eg.: I will go to the supermarket tomorrow and I am going to go to the supermarket tomorrow? thanks?
They are very similar but say 'will go to' is more definite. There's more on this on our website www.bbc.co.uk/learningenglish/english/course/lower-intermediate/unit-28/session-2
Seeing the comments below, it is clear that the message is not clear. It is so very over-simplified as to be misleading. "What are you doing after class?" "I'm having lunch." No arrangements with anyone. No more definite than, "I'm going to have lunch." How about this example: "What are you doing after class?" "I'm meeting my friend and we are playing tennis in the park." That's an arrangement that is clearly fixed and yet it sounds totally unnatural.
You explain very clear.There is no question mark in my mind.
Exceptional explanation !!! Thanks a lot, with respect from Ukraine!!!
I'm achieving my goals in 2024.
Be going to: plans aren't sure
Present continuous: sure plans

"I'm going to tell you the differences between be going to and the present continuous..."
Isn't it a definite plan to tell us the difference? Why would teachers says "Ok, today we are going to learn..." if it isn't a definite plan? I'm confused >.
But u mentioned the time in "going to"🤔
"This weekend" in both examples
I m going to a tour this weekend
What about this sentence?
I am going to buy a mobile today at seven o'clock in Mark's shop.
Here time and place both are mentioned
Then what about this sentence for example. I am going to be meeting her . Would you please explain it correctly ?
what are the differences between be going to, present continuous (future plans) and future tense? eg.: I will go to the supermarket tomorrow and I am going to go to the supermarket tomorrow? thanks?
They are very similar but say 'will go to' is more definite. There's more on this on our website www.bbc.co.uk/learningenglish/english/course/lower-intermediate/unit-28/session-2

Next weekend I'm going to the mountains but I'm looking for someone to accompany me because my car is broken

Please read my comment for your question.

Thanks a lot everybody !
@@nganbich2934 Be going to: prediction
Will: decision
What does "going to happen " mean in English?
It means an event or situation will take place in the future. Eg: The next FIFA World Cup is going to happen in 2022 in Qatar.
@@bbclearningenglish What about: The next FIFA World Cup is happening in 2022 in Quatar. As it's providing when and where.
I am going to sleep. Isn't it a present continuous tense example? If no, what is the tense here??
Just ever so slightly simplified.
according to engvid it is the opposite!!!!!
You have to made it more than 10 minute lenght.
With example, story, this is to short 😭😭
I'm cleaning my house this weekend
ok : )
Thank you 😘
Thank you :)
Thanks so much
