Video A : Section 18 Introduction to answering questions negatively with “be going to”

Hello and welcome to your MES eLesson. I'm Virginia.

Today you’re going to learn the what and the how of answering questions negatively with “be going
to.”

Let’s start with “WHAT.” What are these answers and statements used for?

They can be used to talk about predictions or future plans.


For example,

“I’m not going to knock.”

Good. Now, let’s learn “HOW.” How do you use these answers and statements?

First, know how to conjugate “Be going to”.


If you want to talk about yourself, please repeat:
No, I am not going to
-
-
Good! Native speakers usually use contractions when speaking fluently. Let’s practice the contraction
as well.
Please repeat:
No, I’m not going to
-
-
If you want to talk about me,
No, you are not going to
-
-
Once more, using a contraction:
No, you’re not going to
-
-
If you want to talk about a man, for example, Edward,
No, he is not going to
-
-
Once more, using a contraction:
No, he isn’t going to
-
-
If you want to talk about a woman, for example, Caroline,
No, she is not going to
-
-
Once more, using a contraction:
No, she isn't going to
-
-
If you want to talk about you and me,
No, we are not going to
-
-
Once more, using a contraction:
No, we’re not going to
-
-
If you want to talk about other people,
No, they are not going to
-
-
Once more, using a contraction:
No, they’re not going to
-
-
We’ll use the contractions during the practice video.
It’s very important to memorize this conjugation fluently before you start practicing Video B.

Next, you need to study your vocabulary to know a variety of verbs, for example,

I’m not going to:


pass out.
go to bed.
turn down the music.

Let’s try saying three statements together! Please repeat after me:

“I’m not going to give up.”


-
-
Great job!

Let’s do another. Please repeat after me:

“I’m not going to argue with you.”


-
-
Good! Remember to follow my intonation!

Let’s do one more! Please repeat after me:

“I’m not going to study today.

Excellent!

We’ll practice these examples and more in Video B.
