Notes for teachers

Start by showing a picture of dark clouds and asking what will happen next, then elicit 'It's going to rain.' Write the form on the board: am/is/are + going to + base verb. Common mistakes are leaving out the verb be (I going to...), adding -s or -ing to the main verb, leaving out 'to', and putting words in the wrong order in questions. As a follow-up, learners can interview a partner about their plans for the weekend and then tell the class.
