🆚 Grammar A2-18: going to vs will

A2 learners already know both futures separately; this material teaches them to choose. It replaces the false rule about near and far future with a four-question procedure — was the plan made before this conversation, can you point at proof right now, are you deciding while you speak, or is it only your opinion — and then walks two sentences through it step by step, including the classic pair “I’m going to buy it” (decided last week) against “I’ll buy it” (decided this second). Two side-by-side comparisons with a verdict resolve the contrast, a form table covers negatives, questions and short answers, and a marked-up dialogue lets learners tap any future form to read why it was chosen. Practice is heavy and spread: thirty-two multiple-choice items across four sets, a ten-way sorting task on the situations themselves, six reveal cards and six typical errors to repair, every answer explaining the reason rather than announcing the verdict. Teacher notes give a 45-minute sequence, a two-column board move, a ten-second classroom demonstration and the Cambridge A2 Key relevance.
