Teaching notes

Twelve questions on choosing between will and going to: plans already made and predictions from what you can see take going to, while decisions made on the spot, opinions with I think or I'm sure, promises and offers take will. Two questions ask learners to spot a promise and a prediction with evidence. It's for A2–B1 learners who know both forms but not when to use which.

Play it on the board in teams, and after each answer ask why: is it a plan, a promise, an offer or a prediction? As a follow-up, ask learners to tell a partner three plans for the weekend with going to and make one promise with will. Switch it to a Quiz for a round without the clock, or play it live on learners' phones.
