To be going to

Esta forma verbal se usa para hablar del futuro, más concretamente para expresar la intención de llevar a cabo una actividad. También se denomina futuro de intención. Está compuesto del verbo “to be” conjugado seguido del gerundio del verbo “to go” más el infinitivo del verbo principal con to.

TO BE + GOING + TO + INFINITIVO

La forma going to nunca cambia y sólo tenemos que conjugar el verbo “to be”, tanto para las afirmativas como para las negativas e interrogativas.

En español se traduce por ir a. I am going to go home. Voy a irme a casa.

(Tengo la intención de irme a casa.) I am going to eat dinner.

Voy a cenar.

(Tengo la intención de cenar.) She is not going to work. Ella no va a trabajar.

(No tiene la intención de trabajar.) We are not going to come.

Nosotros no vamos a venir.

(No tenemos la intención de venir.) Are you going to study?

¿Vas tú a estudiar?

(¿Tienes la intención de estudiar?) Is he going to read?

¿Va él a leer?

(¿Tiene la intención de leer?)

Para responder también se usa la forma corta, evitando, de este modo, repetirlo todo. Esta forma consiste en responder con el sujeto seguido del verbo “to be” en afirmativa o negativa, según convenga.

P. ej.: Are you going to see the film? Yes, I am. No, I am not.

The fortune teller / He is going to work at home / What are you doing nowadays?

Writing and saying the date

A continuación presentamos las características que hay que tener en cuenta para escribir y decir la fecha en inglés.

El día: siempre se lee el número ordinal (aunque a veces no se escriba así). Ejemplo: the fifth of September.

El mes: se puede escribir como un número o con su correspondiente palabra. Esta última se puede escribir completa o abreviada. Los meses se abrevian con las tres primeras letras de la palabra (Ejemplo: January: Jan; February: Feb, etc.). Los únicos meses que no tienen

abreviatura son: May, June y July. La primera letra de los meses siempre se escribe en mayúscula, incluso cuando se escribe la abreviatura.

El año: El año solo se añade cuando escribimos o decimos la fecha completa; además, por norma general se escriben únicamente los dos últimos números pero se lee el año al completo. Ejemplo:

3/10/76 -> 1676 Nineteen seventy-six

Los años hasta 1999 se dividen en dos partes, como si fueran dos números de dos cifras cada uno. Ejemplos:

1745 -> 17 – 45 Seventeen forty-five 1268 -> 12 – 68 Twelve sixty-eight 1929 -> 19 – 29 Nineteen twenty-nine El año 2000 se lee: the year two thousand. Escribir y decir la fecha en inglés británico
