Future Plans: Intentions vs. Arrangements

Kiedy mówimy o naszych planach, język angielski zmusza nas do określenia, jak bardzo ten plan jest zaawansowany. Czy to tylko zamiar w naszej głowie, czy już wszystko załatwiliśmy?

1. Grammar Rules Recap / Krótkie przypomnienie zasad

Future Plans Image Link
BE GOING TO: Używamy do wyrażania zamiarów i intencji (Intentions). Zdecydowaliśmy, że chcemy coś zrobić, ale nie podjęliśmy jeszcze żadnych konkretnych kroków (np. nie kupiliśmy biletu, nie ustaliliśmy godziny). Często nazywamy to “planami w głowie”.
Example: I’m going to travel to Japan next year. (Chcę tam pojechać, ale jeszcze nic nie załatwiłem).
PRESENT CONTINUOUS: Używamy do wyrażania pewnych ustaleń i aranżacji (Arrangements). Podjęliśmy już konkretne kroki: mamy bilety, rezerwacje, umówione spotkania w kalendarzu.
Example: I’m travelling to Japan tomorrow. I have my ticket and visa.
