Hi! This is Kee from BBC Learning English, and today I'm going to tell you the differences between be going to and the present continuous to talk about future plans.
We use be going to to talk about future plans. The plan will probably take place, but it's not a definite plan. If I say: I'm going to meet my friends this weekend. It means I made plans with my friends, but it could mean that we haven't decided where to meet, nor have we decided what time to meet.
On the other hand, we use the present continuous to talk about future plans that are almost definite. If I say: I'm meeting my friends this weekend. It means I made plans with my friends, and we may have decided where to meet and what time to meet. So, this plan is almost definite and it's difficult to cancel.
So remember, the present continuous describes a more definite plan than be going to.
1. 語法結(jié)構(gòu)
1) Be going to 結(jié)構(gòu)
Be going to is followed by a bare infinitive verb - a verb with no 'to'. Don't forget to change the 'be' verb to the correct form to agree with the subject pronoun!
“Be going to” 后接動詞原形。注意:系動詞 “be” 的形式應(yīng)和主語一致。
I am going to eat something.
She's going to be very angry.
They're going to be late, I think.
2) 現(xiàn)在進行時
The present continuous tense is formed using the auxiliary verb be + (verb)ing. Be careful of state verbs, such as 'know' and 'need', which are only rarely used in the continuous form.
現(xiàn)在進行時的基本結(jié)構(gòu)是:be + 動詞-ing。注意:類似 “know(知道)”、“need(需要)” 等狀態(tài)動詞不用于進行時態(tài)。
I'm working! What do you want?
He's playing football later.
We're having a party. Would you like to come?

1) 用 “be gonig to” 談?wù)撐磥碛媱?/p>
Be going to is often used with future plans which will probably take place, but have not been formalised. This means that the exact details, such as what time and where, have not been agreed on.
用 “be going to” 談?wù)撐磥碛媱潱梢员硎具@些計劃很可能會發(fā)生,但仍未正式確定。這就意味著具體的細節(jié),如計劃發(fā)生的時間、地點等尚不明確。

We're probably going to take the train to get there.
2)用現(xiàn)在進行時談?wù)撐磥碛媱?/p>
