Going to Future/ Future Simple

by

Exercitii:

  1. I’ve talked to Jim about that trip and we (travel) by car.
  2. “Oh, the phone is ringing and I can’t answer.” “Don’t worry, I (get) it.”
  3. After a little thinking she has changed her mind and she (meet) me at the station.
  4. When you (finish) your work in the garden?
  5. “What you (have), Ralph?” “Well, I think I (have) a straight whisky.”
  6. Look, the cat (fall)!
  7. “I forgot to write a message for Joan and tell her about the party.” “No problem, I (send) her the message right now.”
  8. I can hear something….I think a thunderstorm (burst).
  9. Jim is very smart and hard-working. He definitely (succeed) in everything.
  10. I feel like eating something sweet. I (make) a chocolate cake right now.

    • 2. “O, suna telefonul si nu pot sa raspund!” “Nu te ingrijora, raspund eu” rezulta ca ACUM se hotaraste sa raspunda, e o decizie de moment, nu-si planifica dinainte sa raspunda. Deci: 2. “Don’t worry, I’ll get it!”

      5. “What WILL you have?” = Ce (doresti sa) servesti? Este Future Simple, folosit pentru a comanda la un local. Despre “would have” voi explica intr-o postare viitoare 🙂

      9. He WILL definitely SUCCEED in everything. => este o predictie bazata pe ceea ce cred. Faptul ca Jim este “smart” e un lucru subiectiv, e doar ceea ce cred eu, poate o alta persoana nu crede asta despre el. Nu e ca si cu norii de pe cer pe care ii vede oricine in mod obiectiv, sunt…..palpabili.
      In plus, atentie la locul lui “definitely”, care se pune inaintea verbelor principale si nu a celor auxiliare; adica inaintea V din scheme.

      10. “Parca as manca ceva dulce. O sa fac chiar acum o prajitura cu ciocolata.” => din nou, ACUM se hotaraste! Decizie luata in acel moment, fara planificare prealabila.
      Deci: 10. I will make a chocolate cake right now.

      In rest sunt OK.
      Spune-mi daca m-ai inteles 🙂

      Din cand in cand voi adauga exercitii noi.

    • La ex.8 zice : eu aud ceva. Eu cred ca o furtuna va izbucni !
      avand in vedere ca este verbul think nu ar fi trebuit sa se puna : will burst ???

      Iar daca zicea asa : I can hear something . A thunderstorm is going to burst!!! atunci cred eu ca ar fi mers is going to
      E bine cum am gandit O????

  2. De ce la ex.6 este ” Look, the cat is going to fall! de ce nu este : Look, tha cat will fall! chiar daca varianta cu will imi zgarie urechea as vrea sa stiu de ce este asa.

    • Pentru ca “going to” se foloseste si pentru actiuni iminente sau predictii bazate pe organele de perceptie (vaz, auz…) Este o predictie bazata pe ceea ce vad in acest caz (“look”!) Poti s-o privesti si ca pe o actiune iminenta, de asemenea.
      Alt ex.: Look at the clouds! It’s going to rain. => predictie bazata pe ceea ce vezi
