Plans and invitations Planos e convites
Falar do futuro. Para dizer o que tencionas fazer, usa "be going to" + verbo: I'm going to study. We're going to watch a film. A parte "be" (am / is / are) é imprescindível — não é só "going to", é "I'm going to". Para convidar, pergunta "Do you want to come?" ou "Would you like to …?". O coreano não tem verbo "be", por isso os coreanos omitem-no e dizem "I going to meet a friend"; em inglês mantém-no: I'm going to meet a friend.
Dialogue
I going or I'm going? — I going ou I'm going?
- Emma What are you going to do this weekend, Minsu? O que vais fazer este fim de semana, Minsu?
- Minsu I going to meet a friend. We going to watch a film. Eu going to encontrar um amigo. Nós going to ver um filme. (deslize: "be going to" precisa do "be": "I'm going to…", "We're going to…"; o coreano não tem "be", mas o inglês mantém-no)
- Emma Don't forget the "be": "I'm going to meet…", "We're going to watch…". Não te esqueças do "be": "I'm going to meet…", "We're going to watch…".
- Minsu Ah, I'm going to meet a friend, and we're going to watch a film. Ah, vou encontrar um amigo, e vamos ver um filme.
Dialogue
Do you want to come? — Queres vir?
- Emma I'm going to have a party tonight. Do you want to come? Esta noite vou fazer uma festa. Queres vir?
- Minsu Yes, I'd love to! What time? Sim, adorava! A que horas?
- Emma At seven. Are you going to bring anything? Às sete. Vais trazer alguma coisa?
- Minsu I'm going to bring some food. See you tonight! Vou trazer alguma comida. Até logo à noite!

Grammar
I'm going to meet a friend I'm going to meet a friend
To talk about plans, use "be going to" + the plain verb. The "be" changes with the subject: I'm going to study. He's going to work. We're going to travel. That little "be" (am / is / are) cannot be dropped — the pattern is "I'm going to", not "I going to". To ask, put "be" first: "What are you going to do this weekend?" To invite someone, use "Do you want to + verb?" or "Would you like to + verb?": Do you want to come? — Yes, I'd love to. / Sorry, I'm busy.
Para falar de planos, usa "be going to" + verbo simples. O "be" muda com o sujeito: I'm going to study. He's going to work. We're going to travel. Esse pequeno "be" (am / is / are) não pode ser omitido — o padrão é "I'm going to", não "I going to". Para perguntar, põe o "be" à frente: "What are you going to do this weekend?" Para convidar, usa "Do you want to + verbo?" ou "Would you like to + verbo?": Do you want to come? — Yes, I'd love to. / Sorry, I'm busy.
- I'm going to study English tomorrow. Amanhã vou estudar inglês.
- We're going to have a party this weekend. Este fim de semana vamos fazer uma festa.
- What are you going to do tonight? O que vais fazer esta noite?
