These expressions belong to the PRESENT PEERFECT.
True or False:
We use “will” to talk about plans that are already decided, and “be going to” for spontaneous decisions.
Answer: False
This is FALSE because:
-“Will” is used for spontaneous decisions, promises, and predictions without evidence.
Example: I’m cold — I’ll close the window.
- “Be going to” is used for plans or intentions that were already decided before the moment of speaking and for predictions based on evidence.
Example: I’m going to visit my aunt this weekend.
Correct the Mistake:
The movie was bored, so I felt boring.
Corrected: The movie was boring, so I felt bored.
The movie was BORING means I give the opinion about how the movie was.
I felt BORED describes my own feeling or emotion.
