Present Continuous Verb: To Go

I am going…..You are going….He is going…We are going…They are going….

What about questions about the future?

• Future tense example: You are Are you going= Are you going to a baseball game this weekend?

So……form is….• Be going to + verb

Example verb: to danceI am going to dance tonight.

You can use to be going as the present continuous to talk about future plans.

Example: What is she doing on Sunday? She’s going to a golf tournament.

• Present Continuous is used because it’s use extends into the future.

player.

We are going to go to the baseball field….

There, you will warm up with your team…..

Imagine…..you are running around… getting ready for the game.

Then the game is going to begin. And it is your turn to bat.

Imagine…..a pitcher is throwing a fastball at you.

You’re going to swing your bat, hitting the baseball. And then your going to score a “Home Run.”

You are waving to the crowd as you round the bases.

• Lets watch a video of a real home run!

Basic Baseball Rules:

• Batter swings and misses the ball three times then they are out.

• Hit the ball out of the stadium = “home run”
