Description

In this lesson, students will be able to better understand the grammar usage of the modal verb ‘going to’. We will discuss the positive and negative form of this modal verb. I will also highlight some more examples using the personal pronouns (1st sing, 2nd, 3rd plural) for students to get a clearer picture of the verb. The lesson will start with the follow up of the dialogue which will be presented by my colleague in the previous lesson. Students will discuss some sentences using 'going to' and complete a grammar exercise for some target practices. They will also do some speaking practice to have some more clarification of the modal verb. Finally, each pair will choose a topic to prepare a small talk in 30 sec. and talk about it with each other.
