My sister is working in New York. I'm 901"9 to visit her next month.

I don't know what to do tonight. H'm, maybe 1'11go to the movies.

As you can see, both GOING TO and WILL are used to express future time.

Examples: .

We use GOING TO to talk about definite plans

ar intentions. (A previous decision exists.)

~

' e use WILL to talk about what we think willhappen when plans are not so definite. (Noprevious decision exists; we usually decide at

the moment of speaking.)------------------~

WILL is often used with maybe or probably.

RG - P3 - Lesson 27 - 35

11.EXPRESSING PROBABILlTY - MUST

Look at these sentences.

)

Bob must be really tired,

"Look. They must be our new neighbors."

. We use MUST to express what we think is probably right,based on the facts we have. .

We use the form MUST for ali persons (singular and plural). I

)

Never use an infinitive with to after MUST.

Example:

36 - RG - P3 - Lesson 27

111. OBJECTIVE PRONOUNS - ME, HER

Read these sentences carefully.

/'m starving. Can you give me something to eat, Joe?

I'm not going to see Jane today; but maybe 1'11phone her tonight.

As you can see, ME, in the first sentence, refers to the subject I. In the secondsentence, we don't have to repeat Jane. We can use the objective pronoun HER. )
