Where are you Going to Go? Where are you Going to Stay? We're Going to Change your Holiday!

Monday 12^th, Tuesday 20^th and Thursday 22^nd May

Hi everybody!

What did we do in our last three lessons?

Three lessons because 15^th May was Madrid patron’s saint and we didn’t have class.

We finished talking about clothes. We described the clothes we were wearing and asked and answered questions about the clothes our colleagues were wearing.

We started talking about future plans.

 To talk about future plans we use “going to” but don’t forget that this tense is made up by three verbs! To be + going to+ infinitive

	To be + going to+ infinitive
Affirmative	I’m going to travel by plane	She’s going to see the sights.	They’re going to stay for two weeks.
Negative	I’m not going to travel by plane	She isn’t going to see the sights.	They aren’t going to stay for two weeks.
Question	Are you going to travel by plane?	Is she going to see the sights?	Are they going to stay for two weeks?
Short answers	Yes, I am/No, I’m not	Yes, she is/ No, she isn’t	Yes, they are/ No, they aren’t

Remember that we use ‘going to’ for definite plans!

We read and listened about a TV programme called ‘Change your holidays’

The programme consists of two couples organising their respective holidays. Then, these two couples change holidays – they go on the holiday the other couple planned! But they don’t know where their holiday is until the last moment…

The first couple, John and Lisa are planning to go to New York. They’re going to stay in a hotel in Manhattan. They’re going to stay for a week. They’re going to see a show, to visit the Empire State Building, to go shopping and to go sightseeing. The second couple is going to (go) to Norway on a working holiday. They’re going to plant trees and to clean a river. They’re going to stay at a campsite.

Nobody was excited with the change of plans. But in the end, Jerry and Sue enjoyed their holiday in New York. Lisa and John didn’t. Their idea of a holiday is not working but relaxing and going sightseeing!
