11 Ways to Say Sick
You have to know different expressions if you want to be a good English speaker. Knowing more than one way to say something can make your English sound more natural, and it will help you understand native English speakers better.
Let’s take a look at the most common ways to say that you are sick in English.
Obviously, this is the basic and straightforward way.
This is a common expression that means «very sick».
We can use this simple sentence to tell what kind of illness we have.
This is a common idiom. It simply means, «I am sick.»
The word «ill» has the same meaning as «sick». However, «sick» is used much more often than the word «ill».
This expression can have two meanings.
We use the phrase «come down with» to say that we have become sick. We use the word «something» when we are not sure what illness we have.
This is the same as above, but we use this expression when we are not sure yet if we are sick. We use this in the stage before we get really sick, like when we are starting to feel sick but still are not sure.
9. I’ve caught a cold.
It is common to use the verb «to catch» when talking about becoming sick. It has the same meaning as «I’ve gotten a cold».
«A bug» is slang for illness or virus. So, this is a casual expression to say that we are sick. «A bug» is not a specific illness. It is just a general word for being sick.
11. I’m not feeling well.
This is a very common expression that native English speakers used when they are sick.
But, we can also use this when we are hungover or we eat too many cookies.
12. I think I am going to be sick.
This expression means that we think that we are going to throw up or vomit. We only use this when we are talking about vomiting.

Разница между I will и I’m going to
Будущие действия
Изучите разницу между will и (be) going to:
Сью разговаривает с Хелен:
Позже Хелен встречает Дейва:
Sue and I have decided to have a party. We’re going to invite lots of people.
(be) going to: Мы используем (be) going to, когда мы уже решили что-то сделать. Хелен уже решила пригласить много людей до того, как встретила Дейва.
Будущие события и ситуации (прогнозирующие будущее)
Иногда нет большой разницы между will и going to. Например, вы можете сказать:
Когда мы говорим, что что-то is going to happen (собирается случиться), мы так думаем из-за ситуации вокруг нас сейчас (см. урок 20C). Например:
Не используйте will в таких ситуациях.
В других ситуациях, используйте will:

English Grammar in Use (стр. 4 )
 | Из за большого объема этот материал размещен на нескольких страницах: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 |
* A: I hear Ruth has won some money. What is she going to do with it?
B: She’s going to buy a new car.
* A: Have you made the coffee yet?
B: I’m just going to make it. (just = right at this moment)
* This food looks horrible. I’m not going to eat it.
B. I am doing and I am going to do
We normally use I am doing (present continuous) when we say what we have arranged to do for example, arranged to meet somebody, arranged to go somewhere (see Unit 19A):
* What time are you meeting Ann this evening?
* I’m leaving tomorrow. I’ve got my plane ticket.
‘I am going to do something’ = I’ve decided to do it (but perhaps not arranged to do it):
* ‘The windows are dirty.’ ‘Yes, I know. I’m going to clean them later.’ (= I’ve decided to clean them but I haven’t arranged to clean them)
* I’ve decided not to stay here any longer. Tomorrow I’m going to look for somewhere else to stay.
Often the difference is very small and either form is possible.
C. You can also say that ‘something is going to happen’ in the future. For example:
The man can’t see where he’s walking. There is a hole in front of him.
He is going to fall into the hole.
When we say that ‘something is going to happen’, the situation now makes us believe this. The man is walking towards the hole now, so he is going to fall into it.
* Look at those black clouds! It’s going to rain. (the clouds are there now)
* I feel terrible. I think I’m going to be sick. (I feel terrible now)
D. ‘I was going to (do something)’ = I intended to do it but didn’t do it:
* We were going to travel by train but then we decided to go by car instead.
* A: Did Peter do the examination?
B: No, he was going to do it but he changed his mind.
* I was just going to cross the road when somebody shouted ‘Stop!’
You can say that something was going to happen (but didn’t happen):
* I thought it was going to rain but then the sun came out.
20.1 Answer the questions. You are going to do all these things but you haven’t done them yet. Use going to and the word(s) in brackets.
1. Have you cleaned the car? (tomorrow) Not yet. I’m going to clean it tomorrow.
20.2 Write a question with going to for each situation.
1. Your friend has won some money. You ask:
(what/do with it?) What are you going to do with it?
2. Your friend is going to a party tonight. You ask:
3. Your friend has just bought a new table. You ask:
4. Your friend has decided to have a party. You ask:
20.3 Read the situations and complete the dialogues. Use going to.
1. You have decided to write some letters this evening.
FRIEND: Are you going out this evening? You: No, I’m going to write some letters.
2. You are a smoker but you have decided to give it up soon.
FRIEND: Smoking is very bad for you.
3. You have been offered a job but you have decided not to take it.
FRIEND: I hear you’ve been offered a job.
4. You are in a restaurant. The food is awful and you’ve decided to complain.
FRIEND: This food is awful, isn’t it?
20.4 What is going to happen in these situations? Use the words in brackets.
1. There are a lot of black clouds in the sky. (rain) It’s going to rain.
20.5 Complete the sentences with was/were going to + one of these verbs:
give up have phone play travel
1. We were going to travel by train but then we decided to go by car instead.
UNIT 21. Will/shall (1)
A. We use I’ll (= I will) when we decide to do something at the time of speaking:
* Oh, I’ve left the door open. I’ll go and shut it.
* ‘What would you like to drink?’ ‘I’ll have an orange juice, please.’
* ‘Did you phone Ruth?’ ‘Oh no, I forgot. I’ll phone her now.’
You cannot use the present simple (I do/I go etc.) in these sentences:
* I’ll go and shut the door. (not ‘I go and shut’)
We often use I think I’ll. and I don’t think I’ll.
* I feel a bit hungry. I think I’ll have something to cat.
* I don’t think I’ll go out tonight. I’m too tired.
In spoken English the negative of will is usually won’t (= will not):
* I can see you’re busy, so I won’t stay long.
B. Do not use will to talk about what you have already decided or arranged to do (see Units 19-20):
* I’m going on holiday next Saturday. (not ‘I’ll go’)
* Are you working tomorrow? (not ‘will you work’)
C. We often use will in these situations:
Offering to do something
* That bag looks heavy. I’ll help you with it. (not ‘I help’)
Agreeing to do something
* A: You know that book I lent you. Can I have it back if you’ve finished with it?
B: Of course. I’ll give it to you this afternoon. (not ‘I give’)
Promising to do something
* Thanks for lending me the money. I’ll pay you back on Friday. (not ‘I pay’)
* I won’t tell anyone what happened. I promise.
Asking somebody to do something (Will you. )
* Will you please be quiet? I’m trying to concentrate.
* Will you shut the door, please?
You can use won’t to say that somebody refuses to do something:
* I’ve tried to advise her but she won’t listen. (= she refuses to listen)
* The car won’t start. I wonder what’s wrong with it. (= the car ‘refuses’ to start)
D. Shall I. Shall we.
Shall is used mostly in the questions shall I. /shall we.
We use shall I. /shall we. to ask somebody’s opinion (especially in offers or suggestions):
* Shall I open the window? (= do you want me to open the window?)
* I’ve got no money. What shall I do? (= what do you suggest?)
* ‘Shall we go?’ ‘Just a minute. I’m not ready yet.’
* Where shall we go this evening?
Compare shall I. and will you.
* Shall I shut the door? (= do you want me to shut it?)
* Will you shut the door? (= I want you to shut it)
21.1 Complete the sentences with I’ll + a suitable verb.
1. I’m too tired to walk home. I think I’ll get a taxi.

1. You and a friend want to do something this evening but you don’t know what. You ask your friend. What shall we do this evening?
UNIT 22. Will/shall (2)
A. We do not use will to say what somebody has already arranged or decided to do in the future:
* Ann is working next week. (not ‘Ann will work’)
* Are you going to watch television this evening? (not ‘will you watch’)
For ‘I’m working. ‘ and ‘Are you going to. see Units 19-20.
But often, when we talk about the future, we are not talking about what somebody has decided to do. For example:
CHRIS: Do you think Ann will pass the exam?
JOE: Yes, she’ll pass easily.
‘She’ll pass’ does not mean ‘she has decided to pass’. Joe is saying what he knows or thinks will happen. He is predicting the future.
When we predict a future happening or situation, we use will/won’t.
* Jill has been away a long time. When she returns, she’ll find a lot of changes.
* ‘Where will you be this time next year)’ ‘I’ll be in Japan.’
* That plate is very hot. If you touch it, you’ll burn yourself.
* Tom won’t pass the examination. He hasn’t worked hard enough for it.
* When will you know your exam results?
B. We often use will (‘ll) with:
probably: I’ll probably be home late this evening.
I expect: I haven’t seen Carol today. I expect she’ll phone this evening.
(I’m) sure: Don’t worry about the exam. I’m sure you’ll pass.
(I) think: Do you think Sarah will like the present we bought her?
(I) don’t think: I don’t think the exam will be very difficult.
I wonder: I wonder what will happen.
After (I) hope, we generally use the present:
* I hope Carol phones this evening.
* I hope it doesn’t rain tomorrow.
C. Generally we use will to talk about the future, but sometimes we use will to talk about now. For example:
* Don’t phone Ann now. She’ll be busy. (= I know she’ll be busy now)
D. I shall. /we shall.
Normally we use shall only with I and we.
You can say I shall or I will (I’ll), we shall or we will (we’ll):
* I shall be tired this evening. (or I will be. )
* We shall probably go to Scotland for our holiday. (or We will probably go. )
In spoken English we normally use I’ll and we’ll:
* We’ll probably go to Scotland.
The negative of shall is shall not or shan’t:
* I shan’t be here tomorrow. (or I won’t be. )
Do not use shall with he/she/it/you/they:
* She will be very angry. (not ‘she shall be’)
22.1 Which form of the verb is correct (or more natural) in these sentences? The verbs are underlined.
1. Ann isn’t free on Saturday. _She’ll work (X)/She’s working (O)._ (She’s working is correct)
2. _I’ll go/I’m going_ to a party tomorrow night. Would you like to come too?
3. I think Jane _will get/is getting_ the job. She has a lot of experience.
4. I can’t meet you this evening. A friend of mine _will come/is coming_ to see me.
5. A: Have you decided where to go for your holidays?
B: Yes, _we will go/we are going_ to Italy.
6. There’s no need to be afraid of the dog. _It won’t hurt/It isn’t hurting_ you.

be be come get like look meet pass
1. Don’t worry about your exam. I’m sure you I’ll pass.
8. I wonder where I years from now.
22.3 Put in will (‘ll) or won’t.
1. Can you wait for me? I won’t be very long.
22.4 Where will you be at these times? Write true sentences about yourself. Use one of these:
I’ll be. or I expect I’ll be. or I’ll probably be. or I don’t know where I’ll be. or I’m not sure. I might be. (For might see Unit 30.)
1. (next Monday evening at 7.45) I’ll probably be at home.
or I’m not sure. I might be at the cinema.
or I don’t know where I’ll be. (etc.)

22.5 Write questions using do you think. will. + one of these verbs:
be back cost finish get married happen like rain

UNIT 23. I will and I’m going to
Study the difference between will and going to:
Sue is talking to Helen:
SUE: Let’s have a party
HELLEN: That’s a great idea. We’ll invite lots of people.
will (‘ll): We use will when we decide to do something at the time of speaking. The speaker has not decided before. The party is a new idea.
Later that day, Helen meets Dave:
HELLEN: Sue and I have decided to have a party. We’re going to invite lots of people.
going to: We use (be) going to when we have already decided to do something. Helen had already decided to Invite lots of people before she spoke to Dave.
* ‘George phoned while you were out.’ ‘OK. I’ll phone him back.’
but * ‘George phoned while you were out.’ ‘Yes, I know. I’m going to phone him back.’
* ‘Ann is in hospital.’ ‘Oh really? I didn’t know. I’ll go and visit her.’
but * ‘Ann is in hospital.’ ‘Yes, I know. I’m going to visit her tomorrow.’
B. Future happenings and situations (predicting the future)
Sometimes there is not much difference between will and going to. For example, you can say:
* I think the weather will be nice later.
* I think the weather is going to be nice later.
When we say ‘something is going to happen’, we know (or think) this because of the situation now. For example:
Do not use will in situations like these. (See also Unit 20C.)
In other situations, it is safer to use will:
* Tom will probably arrive at about 8 o’clock.
* I think Ann will like the present we bought for her.
23.1 Complete the sentences using will (‘ll) or going to.
1. A: Why are you turning on the television?
B: I’m going to watch the news. (I/watch)
2. A: Oh, I’ve just realised. I haven’t got any money.
3. A: I’ve got a headache.
4. A: Why are you filling that bucket with water?
5. A: I’ve decided to repaint this room.
6. A: Where are you going? Are you going shopping?
7. A: I don’t know how to use this camera.
8. A: What would you like to eat?
9. A: Did you post that letter for me?
10. A: The ceiling in this room doesn’t took very safe, does it?
11. A: Has George decided what to do when he leaves school?
23.2 Read the situations and complete the sentences using will (‘ll) or going to.
1. The phone rings and you answer. Somebody wants to speak to Jim.
CALLER: Hello. Can I speak to Jim, please?
2. It’s a nice day. You’ve decided to sit in the garden. Before going outside, you tell your friend.
3. Your friend is worried because she has lost an important letter.
4. There was a job advertised in the paper recently. At first you were interested but then you decided not to apply.
FRIEND: Have you decided what to do about that job that was advertised?
5. You and a friend come home very late. Other people in the house are asleep. Your friend is noisy.
6. John has to go to the airport to catch a plane tomorrow morning.
JOHN: Ann, I need somebody to take me to the airport tomorrow morning.
Later that day, Joe offers to take John to the airport.
JOE: John, do you want me to take you to the airport?
UNIT 24. Will be doing and will have done
A. Study this example situation:
Kevin loves football and this evening there is a big football match on television. The match begins at 7.30 and ends at 9.15. Paul wants to see Kevin the same evening and wants to know what time to come to his house.
PAUL: Is it all right if I come at about 8.30?
KEVIN: No, I’ll be watching the football then.
PAUL: Well, what about 9.30?
KEVIN: Fine. The match will have finished by then.
B. ‘I will be doing something’ (future continuous) = I will be in the middle of doing something. The football match begins at 7.30 and ends at 9.15. So during this time, for example at 8.30, Kevin will be watching the match. Another example:
* I’m going on holiday on Saturday. This time next week I’ll be lying on a beach or
swimming in the sea.
Compare will be (do)ing and will (do):
* Don’t phone me between 7 and 8. We’ll be having dinner then.
* Let’s wait for Mary to arrive and then we’ll have dinner.
ing with other continuous forms:
* At 10 o’clock yesterday, Sally was in her office. She was working. (past)
It’s 10 o’clock now. She is in her office. She is working. (present)
At 10 o’clock tomorrow, she will be in her office. She will be working.
C. We also use will be doing in a different way: to talk about complete actions in the future:
* A: If you see Sally, can you ask her to phone me?
B: Sure. I’ll be seeing her this evening, so I’ll tell her then.
* What time will your friends be arriving tomorrow?
In these examples will be
ing is similar to the present continuous for the future. (See Unit 19A.)
You can use Will you be
ing. to ask about somebody’s plans, especially if you want something or want them to do something. For example:
* A: Will you be passing the post office when you’re out?
A: I need some stamps. Could you get me some?
* A: Will you be using your bicycle this evening?
B: No. Do you want to borrow it?
D. We use will have (done) (future perfect) to say that something will already be complete. Kevin’s football match ends at 9.15. So after this time, for example at 9.30, the match will have finished. Some more examples:
* Sally always leaves for work at 8.30 in the morning, so she won’t be at home at 9
o’clock. She’ll have gone to work.
* We’re late. The film will already have started by the time we get to the cinema.
Compare will have (done) with other perfect forms:
* Ted and Amy have been married for 24 years. (present perfect)
Next year they will have been married for 25 years.
When their first child was born, they had been married for three years. (past perfect)
24.1 Read about Colin. Then you have to tick (V) the sentences which are true. In each group of sentences at least one is true.
Colin goes to work every day. He leaves home at 8 o’clock and arrives at work at about 8.45. He starts work immediately and continues until 12.30 when he has lunch (which takes about half an hour). He starts work again at 1.15 and goes home at exactly 4.30. Every day he follows the same routine and tomorrow will be no exception.
a. he’ll be leaving the house
b. he’ll have left the house
c. he’ll be at home (V)
d. he’ll be having breakfast (V)
a. he’ll be leaving the house
b. he’ll have left the house
c. he’ll have arrived at work
d. he’ll be arriving at work
c. he’ll have started work
d. he’ll be arriving at work
b. he’ll behaving lunch
c. he’ll have finished his lunch
d. he’ll have started his lunch
a. he’ll have finished work
b. he’ll finish work
d. he won’t have finished work
b. he’ll be leaving work
c. he’ll have left work
d. he’ll have arrived home
24.2 Put the verb into the correct form, will be (do)ing or will have (done).
1. Don’t phone me between 7 and 8. We’ll be having (we/have) dinner then.
4. A: Can we meet tomorrow afternoon?
5. B has to go to a meeting which begins at 10 o’clock. It will last about an hour.
A: Will you be free at 11.30?
B: Yes, probably. Why?
A: I borrowed this book from her. Can you give it back to her?
Unit 25. When I do/When I’ve done When and if
A. Study these examples:
A: What time will you phone me tomorrow?
B: I’ll phone you when I get home from work.
‘I’ll phone you when I get home from work’ is a sentence with two parts:
the main part: ‘I’ll phone you’
and the when-part: ‘when I get home from work (tomorrow)’
The time in the sentence is future (‘tomorrow’) but we use a present tense (get) in the when part of the sentence.
We do not use will in the when-part of the sentence:
* We’ll go out when it stops raining. (not ‘when it will stop’)
* When you are in London again, you must come and see us. (not ‘when you will be’)
* (said to a child) What do you want to be when you grow up? (not ‘will grow’)
The same thing happens after: while before after as soon as until or till
* I’m going to read a lot of books while I’m on holiday. (not ‘while I will be’)
* I’m going back home on Sunday. Before I go, I’d like to visit the museum.
* Wait here until (or till) I come back.
B. You can also use the present perfect (have done) after when/after/until/as soon as:
* Can I borrow that book when you’ve finished it?
* Don’t say anything while Ian is here. Wait until he has gone.
It is often possible to use the present simple or the present perfect:
* I’ll come as soon as I finish. or I’ll come as soon as I’ve finished.
* You’ll feel better after you have something to eat. or You’ll feel better after you’ve had something to eat.
But do not use the present perfect if two things happen together. The present perfect shows that one thing will be complete before the other (so the two things do not happen together).
* When I’ve phoned Kate, we can have dinner. (= First I’ll phone Kate and after that we can have dinner.)
but * When I phone Kate this evening, I’ll invite her to the party. (not ‘when I’ve phoned’) (In this example, the two things happen together.)
C. After if, we normally use the present simple (if I do/if I see etc.) for the future:
* It’s raining hard. We’ll get wet if we go out. (not ‘if we will go’)
* Hurry up! If we don’t hurry, we’ll be late.
Compare when and if:
We use when for things which are sure to happen:
* I’m going shopping this afternoon. (for sure) When I go shopping, I’ll buy some food.
We use if (not ‘when’) for things that will possibly happen:
* I might go shopping this afternoon. (it’s possible) If I go shopping, I’ll buy some food.
* If it is raining this evening, I won’t go out. (not ‘when it is raining’)
* Don’t worry if I’m late tonight. (not ‘when I’m late’)
* If they don’t come soon, I’m not going to wait. (not ‘when they don’t come’)
25.1 Complete these sentences using the verbs in brackets. All the sentences are about the future. Use will/won’t or the present simple (I see/he plays/it is etc.).
1. I’ll phone (phone) you when I get (get) home from work.
25.2 Make one sentence from two.
1. You will be in London again. You must come and see us then.
You must come and see us. when you are in London again.
2. I’ll find somewhere to live. Then I’ll give you my address.
3. I’ll do the shopping. Then I’ll come straight back home.
4. It’s going to start raining. Let’s go home before that.
5. She must apologise to me first. I won’t speak to her until then.
25.3 Read the situations and complete the sentences.
1. A friend of yours is going to visit London. You want to know where she is going to stay.
You ask: Where are you going to stay when _you are in London?_
2. A friend of yours is visiting you. She has to go soon but maybe there’s time for a cup of tea.
3. Your friend is reading the newspaper. You’d like it after her.
4. You want to sell your car. Jim is interested in buying it but he hasn’t decided yet.
5. There are serious traffic problems in your town but they are building a new road.
25.4 Put in when or if.
1. Don’t worry _if_ I’m late tonight.
Unit 26. Can, could and (be) able to
A. We use can to say that something is possible or that somebody has the ability to do something.
* We use can + infinitive (can do/can see etc.):
* We can see the lake from our bedroom window.
* Can you speak any foreign languages?
* I can come and see you tomorrow if you like.
The negative is can’t (= cannot):
* I’m afraid I can’t come to the party on Friday.
B. (Be) able to. is possible instead of can, but can is more usual:
* Are you able to speak any foreign languages?
But can has only two forms, can (present) and could (past). So sometimes it is necessary to use (be) able pare:
but I haven’t been able to sleep recently. (can has no present perfect)
* Tom can come tomorrow.
but Tom might be able to come tomorrow. (can has no infinitive)
C. Could and was able to.
Sometimes could is the past of can. We use could especially with:
see hear smell taste feel remember understand
* When we went into the house, we could smell burning.
* She spoke in a very low voice, but I could understand what she said.
We also use could to say that somebody had the general ability or permission to do something:
* My grandfather could speak five languages.
* We were completely free. We could do what we wanted. (= we were allowed to do. )
We use could for general ability. But if we are talking about what happened in a particular situation, we use was/were able to. or managed to. (not could):
* The fire spread through the building quickly but everybody was able to escape.
or. everybody managed to escape. (but not ‘could escape’)
* They didn’t want to come with us at first but we managed to persuade them.
or. we were able to persuade them. (but not ‘could persuade’)
* Jack was an excellent tennis player. He could beat anybody. he had the general ability to beat anybody)
* Jack and Alf had a game of tennis yesterday. Alf played very well but in the end Jack managed to beat him. or. was able to beat him. (= he managed to beat him in this particular game)
The negative couldn’t (could not) is possible in all situations:
* My grandfather couldn’t (could not) is possible in all situations
* We tried hard but we couldn’t persuade them to come with us.
* Alf played well but he couldn’t beat Jack.
26.1 Complete the sentences using can or (be) able to. Use can if possible; otherwise use (be) able to.
1. George has travelled a lot. He _can_ speak four languages.
2. I haven’t _been able to_ sleep very well recently.
26.2 Write sentences about yourself using the ideas in brackets.
1. (something you used to be able to do) I used to be able to sing well.
26.3 Complete the sentences with can/can’t/could/couldn’t + one of these verbs:
come cat hear run sleep wait
1. I’m afraid I _can’t come_ to your party next week.
2. When Tim was 16, he was a fast runner. He meters in 11 seconds.

B: Yes. Although the fire spread quickly, everybody _was able to escape._
2 A: Did you have difficulty finding Ann’s house?

3 Have you arranged to do anything at these times? Write (true) sentences about yourself.
1. (this evening) I’m going out this evening. or I’m not doing anything this evening. or I don’t know what I’m doing this evening.
3. (tomorrow evening)
5. (choose another day or time)
19.4 Put the verb into the more suitable form, present continuous or present simple.
1. I’m going (go) to the theatre this evening.
2. Does the film begin (the film/begin) at 3.30 or 4.30?
6. ‘— (you/do) anything tomorrow morning?’ ‘No, I’m free. Why?’
8. You are on the train to London and you ask another passenger:
9. You are talking to Ann:
12. You and a friend are watching television. You say:
UNIT 20. (I’m) going to (do)
A. ‘I am going to do something’ = I have already decided to do it, I intend to do it:
* A: There’s a film on television tonight. Are you going to watch it?
B: No, I’m tired. I’m going to have an early night.
* A: I hear Ruth has won some money. What is she going to do with it?
B: She’s going to buy a new car.
* A: Have you made the coffee yet?
B: I’m just going to make it. (just = right at this moment)
* This food looks horrible. I’m not going to eat it.
B. I am doing and I am going to do
We normally use I am doing (present continuous) when we say what we have arranged to do for example, arranged to meet somebody, arranged to go somewhere (see Unit 19A):
* What time are you meeting Ann this evening?
* I’m leaving tomorrow. I’ve got my plane ticket.
‘I am going to do something’ = I’ve decided to do it (but perhaps not arranged to do it):
* ‘The windows are dirty.’ ‘Yes, I know. I’m going to clean them later.’ (= I’ve decided to clean them but I haven’t arranged to clean them)
* I’ve decided not to stay here any longer. Tomorrow I’m going to look for somewhere else to stay.
Often the difference is very small and either form is possible.
C. You can also say that ‘something is going to happen’ in the future. For example:
The man can’t see where he’s walking. There is a hole in front of him.
He is going to fall into the hole.
When we say that ‘something is going to happen’, the situation now makes us believe this. The man is walking towards the hole now, so he is going to fall into it.
* Look at those black clouds! It’s going to rain. (the clouds are there now)
* I feel terrible. I think I’m going to be sick. (I feel terrible now)
D. ‘I was going to (do something)’ = I intended to do it but didn’t do it:
* We were going to travel by train but then we decided to go by car instead.
* A: Did Peter do the examination?
B: No, he was going to do it but he changed his mind.
* I was just going to cross the road when somebody shouted ‘Stop!’
You can say that something was going to happen (but didn’t happen):
* I thought it was going to rain but then the sun came out.
1. Iʹm watching a very interesting TV programme this evening.
2. Iʹm meeting my parents at the airport tomorrow morning.
3. Iʹm going to the cinema with my friends tomorrow evening.

Future actions. Study the difference between will and going to:
Sue is talking to Helen:
SUE: Let’s have a party
HELLEN: That’s a great idea. We’ll invite lots of people.
will (‘ll): We use will when we decide to do something at the time of speaking. The speaker has not decided before. The party is a new idea. Later that day, Helen meets Dave:
HELLEN: Sue and I have decided to have a party. We’re going to invite lots of people.
going to: We use (be) going to when we have already decided to do something. Helen had already decided to invite lots of people before she spoke to Dave.
Compare:
* ‘George phoned while you were out.’ ‘OK. I’ll phone him back.’ but
* ‘George phoned while you were out.’ ‘Yes, I know. I’m going to phone him back.’
* ‘Ann is in hospital.’ ‘Oh really? I didn’t know. I’ll go and visit her.’ but
* ‘Ann is in hospital.’ ‘Yes, I know. I’m going to visit her tomorrow.’
Future happenings and situations (predicting the future)
Sometimes there is not much difference between will and going to. For example, you can say:
* I think the weather will be nice later.
* I think the weather is going to be nice later.
In other situations, it is safer to use will:
* Tom will probably arrive at about 8 o’clock.
* I think Ann will like the present we bought for her.

Выражение be going to (I’m going to do)
I am going to do something = я уже решил делать это, я намереваюсь это сделать:
I am doing и I am going to do
Мы используем I am doing (present continuous), когда мы говорим о том, что запланировали сделать, например, запланировали встретить кого-то или пойти куда-то:
I am going to do something = я решил это сделать (но, возможно, не планировал это делать):
Часто разница незначительна, в таком случае, любая из форм возможна.
Вы также можете сказать, что ‘something is going to happen’ (что-то собирается произойти) в будущем. Например:
The man can’t see the wall in front of him.
Человек не может видеть стену перед собой.
He is going to walk into the wall.
Он собирается врезаться в стену.
Когда мы говорим, что ‘something is going to happen’, ситуация в данный момент делает это очевидным. Человек идет в сторону стены, поэтому мы видим, что он собирается в нее врезаться.
Ещё несколько примеров:
I was going to (do something) = я намеревался сделать это, но так и не сделал:
Вы можете сказать, что ‘something was going to happen’ (что-то собиралось случиться, но не случилось):
Упражнения
1. Напишите вопрос с going to для каждой ситуации.
2. Прочитайте ситуации и завершите диалоги. Используйте going to.
Будущее время с Will / Shall 1 (Future simple)
Мы используем I’ll (= I will), когда мы решили что-нибудь сделать в момент речи:
Вы не можете использовать present simple (I do / I go и др.) в этих предложениях:
В разговорном английском отрицанием will обычно является won’t (= will not):
Не используйте will, когда вы говорите о том, что уже решили или запланировали сделать (см. уроки 19, 20):
Мы часто используем will в следующих ситуациях:
Предлагая что-нибудь сделать
Соглашаясь что-нибудь сделать
Обещая что-нибудь сделать
Вы можете использовать won’t, когда кто-то отказывается что-то сделать:
Упражнения
1. Закончите предложения с I’ll + подходящий глагол.
3. Отметьте галочкой правильный вариант. (Если необходимо, повторите уроки 19, 20)

Оборот I’M GOING TO для того, чтобы сказать, что вы СОБИРАЕТЕСЬ сделать
английская грамматика Murphy
Здравствуйте, дорогие читатели! Из предыдущего урока вы должны были уяснить, что в английском языке о будущих событиях можно говорить при помощи форм настоящего времени. Сегодня мы подробно остановимся на употреблении такого оборота, как I’m going to, который переводится на русский, как «собираюсь».
Unit 20, English grammar in use (R. Murphy)
I’m going to
Смотрите видео урок:
К счастью для нас, русскоговорящих людей, этот оборот достаточно легко употреблять, он максимально соответствует русской фразе «я собираюсь сделать», и при переводе на английский предложений типа «Я собираюсь пойти/Он собирается прочитать… (I’m going to go/He’s going to read…)» не нужно менять структуру предложения. Переводим слова по порядку.
□ A: Are you going to watch the late film on TV tonight? B: No, I’m going to have an early night. — А: Ты собираешься смотреть фильм, который идет поздно вечером? В: Нет, я собираюсь лечь рано.
□ A: I hear Sarah has won some money. What is she going to do with it? B: She’s going to buy a new car. — А: Я слышал, Сара выиграла деньги. Что она собирается с ними делать? В: Она собирается покупать новую машину.
□ I’m just going to make a quick phone call. Can you wait for me? — Я быстро позвоню. Ты сможешь меня подождать?
□ This cheese looks horrible. I’m not going to cat it. — Этот сыр выглядит ужасно. Я не собираюсь его есть.
Я cделаю (I am doing) и Я собираюсь сделать (I am going to do)
□ What time are you meeting Ann this evening? — В какое время ты встретишься с Аней вечером?
□ I’m leaving tomorrow. I’ve got my plane ticket. — Я уезжаю завтра. У меня уже есть билет на самолет.
□ ‘Your shoes are dirty.’ ‘Yes, I know. I’m going to clean them.’ — У тебя туфли грязные. — Да, я знаю. Я собираюсь почистить их. (Я уже решила, что почищу их, но еще не решила, когда это сделаю)
□ I’ve decided not to stay here any longer. Tomorrow I’m going to look for somewhere else to stay. — Я решила, что больше здесь не останусь. Завтра я собираюсь искать себе новое жилье.
Как вы понимаете, все основано на нюансах. Так что если чувствуете, что хочется употреблять I’m going to, делайте это!
Пример
Человек не видит перед собой стену (физически не может ее увидеть). Он сейчас врежется в стену. — He is going to walk into the wall.
Когда мы говорим smth is going to happen (что-то произойдет), ситуация в этот момент такова, что что-то произойдет на 100%. Человек идет прямо в стенку, он сейчас врежется в нее, всем понятно, что это случится.
□ Look at those black clouds! It’s going to rain. — Посмотри, какие черные тучи! Пойдет дождь. (прямо сейчас над нами нависли эти тучи)
□ I feel terrible. I think I’m going to be sick. — Я чувствую себя ужасно. Меня сейчас стошнит. (я сейчас очень плохо себя чувствую)
□ The economic situation is bad now and things are going to get worse. — Экономическая ситуация очень плохая сейчас, и дела будут только хуже.
Обратите внимание, данный оборот (smth is going to happen) мы переводим будущим временем — ПРОИЗОЙДЕТ, а не собирается произойти. Советую обратить внимание на этом пункт правила, потому что в разговорной речи такие предложения встречаются довольно часто.
I WAS GOING TO переводится как «я собирался сделать, но так и не сделал«. Грамматически это past continuous. Используем этот оборот, чтобы говорить о несбывшихся планах, либо о планах, которые изменились.
□ We were going to travel by train, but then we decided to go by car instead. — Мы собирались ехать на поезде, но потом решили, что поедем на машине.
□ Peter was going to do the exam, but he changed his mind. — Питер собирался идти на экзамен, но потом передумал.
□ I was just going to cross the mad when somebody shouted ‘Stop!’ — Я как раз собирался переходить дорогу, когда кто-то закричал «Стой!»
Можно говорить smth was going to happen (что-то должно было случиться), но так и не произошло.
□ I thought it was going to rain, but it didn’t. — Я думал, что пойдет дождь, но он не пошел.
Вариантами данной фразы являются I was going to, it is going to happen, it was going to happen.

I feel terrible i think i to be sick
» I feel terrible. I think I might be sick.»
The first sentence was correct. The second however needed a small change. Instead of «I’ll» be sick it would be «I might» or «I am.» I’ll is that you will be sick not that you currently are sick or are currently feeling sick.

V. DIAGNOSIS
Exercise 1.Read and translate the text paying close attention to the expressions in bold.
DISEASE: SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS
Disease may be acute, chronic, malignant, or benign. Of these terms, chronic and acute have to do with the duration of a disease, malignant and benign with its potentiality for causing death.
An acute disease process usually begins abruptly and is over soon. Acute appendicitis, for example, is characterized by vomiting, and pain usually localized in the lower right side. It usually requires immediate surgical treatment, the term chronic refers to a process that often begins very gradually and then persists over a long period. For example, ulcerative colitis is a chronic disease. Its peak incidence is early in the second decade of life. The disease is characterized by relapsing attacks of bloody diarrhea that persist for weeks to months. These attacks alternate with asymptomatic periods that can last from weeks to years.
The terms benign and malignant, most often used to describe tumours, can be used in a more general sense.
Benign diseases are generally without complications, and a good prognosis is usual. A wart on the skin is a benign tumour caused by a virus; it produces no illness and usually disappears spontaneously if given enough time (often many years). Malignancy implies a process that, if left alone, will result in fatal illness. Cancer is the general term for all malignant tumours.
Diseases usually are indicated by signs and symptoms. A sign is defined as an objective manifestation of disease that can be determined by a physician; a symptom is subjective evidence of disease reported by the patient. Each disease entity has a constellation of signs and symptoms; individual signs such as fever, however, may be found in a great number of diseases.
Fever is an abnormal rise in body temperature. It is most often a sign of infection but can be present whenever there is tissue destruction, as, for example, from a severe burn or when large amounts of tissue have died because of lack of blood supply. Fever is a highly significant indicator of disease.
The pulse rate is another easily obtainable and important piece of information. The heart rate varies with the level of physical activity: the heart beats faster during exercise and more slowly during rest. An inappropriate heart rate (or pulse) may be indicative of disease. The heart rate increases in the feverish patient. A weak, rapid pulse rate may be a sign of severe blood loss or of disease within the heart itself. Irregularity of the pulse is an important indicator of heart malfunction.
The respiratory rate (rate of breathing) is modified by disease. Persons with fever have an increased respiratory rate, which serves to lower body temperature (this rapid breathing is analogous to the panting of a dog).
Temperature, pulse, and respiratory rate — called the vital signs — may be important manifestations of disease. The fourth vital sign, blood pressure, is equally significant. Among other things, it indicates the amount of blood in circulation.
Exercise 2.Study the following case notes. What questions might the doctor have asked to obtain the information they contain?
a) SURNAME James FIRST NAMES Robert
PRESENT COMPLAINT frontal headache 4/7 following cold. Worse in a.m. and when bending down. Also being ‘off colour’ and feverish.
POINTS OF NOTE analgesics, some relief
b) SURNAME Warner FIRST NAMES Mary Elizabeth
PRESENT COMPLAINT episodic headaches many years, lasting 1-2 days every 3-4 months, pain behind eyes, nausea, ‘tightness’ back of head, depressed pain, interfering work.
c) SURNAME Green FIRST NAMES Peter
PRESENT COMPLAINT severe attack of central chest pain six months ago, lasted 10 minutes, relieved by rest. Recurred several times after exertion. His father died aged 56 of a coronary thrombosis.
POINTS OF NOTE angina
Exercise 3.Work in pairs and try to recreate the consultations. Student A should start.
A: Play the part of the patients. Use the case notes from the Ex. 1 as prompts.
B: Play the part of the doctor. Find out what the patient is complaining of. Do not look at the case notes.
Exercise 4.Read the following case history and find and underline this information about the patient as quickly as you can:
1. previous occupation
2. initial symptoms
3. initial diagnosis
4. condition immediately prior to admission
5. reason for emergency admission
6. duration of increased thirst and nocturia
7. father’s cause of death
8. alcohol consumption
Mr. Wildgoose, a retired bus driver, was unwell and in bed with a cough and general malaise when he called in his general practitioner. A lower respiratory tract infection was diagnosed and erythromycin prescribed. Two days later, at a second home visit, he was found to be a little breathless and complaining that he felt worse. He was advised to drink plenty and to continue with his antibiotic. Another 2 days passed and the general practitioner returned to find the patient barely rousable and breathless at rest. Emergency admission to hospital was arranged on the grounds of ‘severe chest infection’. On arrival in the ward, he was unable to give any history but it was ascertained from his wife that he had been confused and unable to get up for the previous 24h. He had been incontinent of urine on a few occasions during this time. He had been noted to have increased thirst and nocturia for the previous 2 weeks.
His past history included appendicectomy at age 11 years, cervical spondylosis 10 years ago, and hypertension for which he had been taking a thiazide diuretic for 3 years. His father had died at 62 years of myocardial infarction and his mother had had rheumatoid arthritis. His wife kept generally well but had also had a throat infection the previous week. Mr. Wildgoose drank little alcohol and had stopped smoking 2 years previously.
Exercise 5.Study this extract from a case history:
The patient was a 59-year-old man, head of a small engineering firm (1), who complained of central chest pain (2) which occurred on exertion (3) and was sometimes accompanied by sweating (4). He smoked 40 cigarettes a day (5). The pain had first appeared three months previously (6) and was becoming increasingly frequent (7). He had noticed some weight gain recently (4 kg) (8) and also complained that his hair had become very dull and lifeless. He felt the cold much more than he used to. He denied any palpitations (9) or ankle oedema (10).
What questions might a doctor ask a patient to obtain the information in italics in the case history? You may ask more than one question for each piece of information. When you have finished, put your questions in the most natural order for a consultation.
Exercise 6.Work in pairs. Student A should start.
A: Play the part of the patient. Base your replies on the information given in the extract above.
B: Play the part of the doctor. Find out what the patient is complaining of.
Exercise 7.What are the main symptoms for these conditions:
Exercise 8.Provide the following symptoms with the correct diagnosis.
1) I’ve been sick quite a lot. I can’t keep anything down. I feel terrible.
2) I feel weak and dizzy. I’ve got aches and pains all over my body. I can’t stop shivering.
3) I can’t swallow, and my glands are swollen.
4) I started having a cold a few days ago, and now I’ve got a rash with small red spots all over my body.
5) I seem to have some sort of stye or infection in my right eye.
6) I keep getting shooting pains in the back and it’s difficult to move.
7) I keep getting short of breath.
Exercise 9.This is a section on symptoms, possible diagnosis and remedies. These six exchanges between doctor and patient have been mixed up. Decide which response should follow which question.
Exercise 10.Rearrange these six paragraphs in the same way.
| I’ve got a dull ache in my arm and occasionally I get a spasm. Could it be a minor fracture, a chipped bone or something? | Mm, sounds a bit like it. I’ll make you out a prescription for some penicillin, and some menthol inhalations might speed up the recovery. |
| I’ve got these tiny little bumps all over the back of my neck. Do you think it might be gland trouble? | It’s just possible. I’ll strap it up anyway and put it in a sling. That should reduce your discomfort quite a lot. |
| I’ve come out in a rash on my chest. Do you think it could be a skin disease like impetigo or dermatitis? | Oh, I shouldn’t think so, but I think you ought to start taking these tranquillizers, to at least get your blood pressure down. |
| I keep getting short of breath. Is there any way I could be suffering from asthma? | Oh, no, no, no. You’d know if it was. I’ll give you some ointment to rub in to get rid of the inflammation. |
| I think I’ve got an ulcer in my mouth. Do you think it could be a sign that I’m run down? | Probably not. I’ll put you on a course of tablets to prevent them from spreading. They should go soon. |
| I feel so feverish, and I’m sure I’ve got a temperature. I’m so afraid that there’s something wrong with my heart. | It might well be. I’ll put you on antibiotics for a while anyway, to lessen the risk of serious infection. |
Exercise 11*.Match each of the medical terms for common symptoms in the first column with a term which a patient would easily understand or might use, from the second column:
1. paraesthesia a) swelling, puffiness
2. productive cough b) indigestion
3. anaesthesia c) coughing up phlegm or spit
4. retrosternal chest pain d) trouble holding your water
5. orthopnea e) cramp in the leg muscles which comes and goes
6. stress incontinence f) numbness
7. dysmenorrhoea g) sleeplessness
8. dyspepsia h) out of breath, out of puff, breathlessness
9. oedema i) painful periods
10. intermittent claudication j) pain behind the breast bone
11. insomnia k) pins and needles
12. dyspnoea l) shortness of breath when you lie down
Exercise 12.Retell the dialogue from the third person:
Doctor: Good morning, Mr. Hall. What’s brought you along today?
Patient: Well, you see, doctor, I’ve been having these headaches, you see, and…
D: And how long have they been bothering you?
P: Well, they started about three months ago.
D: I see. And which part of your head is affected?
P: Well, it’s right across the front here.
D: Can you describe the pain?
P: It’s a sort of dull and throbbing kind of pain.
D: Do they come on at any particular time?
P: They seem to be, they’re usually worse in the morning. I notice them when I wake up.
D: Is there anything that makes them better?
P: If I lie down for a while, they seem to go away.
D: Has there been anything else apart from these headaches?
P: My wife says that I seem to be getting a bit deaf.
D: Oh? Well, Mr. Hall, I think at this stage I’ll start by checking your ears to see if there’s any wax…
Exercise 13.Act out the dialogues.
D: Good afternoon Mr Priestly, come in and have a seat.
P: Good afternoon, Mr Davidson.
D: Now I’ve had a letter from your doctor saying that you’ve been having problems with your sight.
P: Yes, that’s right, doctor.
D: Could you tell me how long the left eye has been bad for?
P: Oh, going on for about a year now, I suppose.
D: Mm, and what do you do?
P: I’m a postman. I deliver letters and that sort of thing.
D: How is your work being affected?
P: Oh, it’s really bad. I can hardly see the letters let alone the addresses. I have to get my mates to do that sort of thing for me and it’s getting to a stage where I just can’t cope really.
D: I see, yes. I’d just like to examine your eyes and perhaps we could start with the chart. Could you just look at the chart for me? Can you see any letters at all?
D: OK. Well, with the right eye can you see anything?
P: N H T A. That’s about all, I’m afraid.
D: Now does that make any difference?
D: What about that one? Does that have any effect?
P: Not really, I can’t really say it does.
D: Right, OK, thank you very much indeed.
D: Hello, Mr. Nicol, I haven’t seen you for a long time. What seems to be the problem?
P: I’ve been having these headaches, doctor.
D: Which part of your head?
P: Mostly along here, along the side.
D: Oh, I see, the left side. How long have they been bothering you?
P: Well, they started about three weeks ago. At first I felt as if I had the flu because my shoulders were aching, you know, pains in the joints and I had a bit of a temperature.
D: I see, and did you take anything for the headaches?
P: I took some aspirin but it didn’t seem to make much difference to me.
D: When do they come on?
P: They seem to be there all day long, and at nigh I just can’t get to sleep.
D: So they’re bad enough to keep you awake?
D: And how do you feel in yourself?
P: Very weak, and I’m tired of course. I think I’ve lost some weight.
D: Have you had headaches in the past?
P: Just one or two, but never anything like this.
General practitioner: Hello, Jim. I wonder if you could see a patient for me?
Consultant: Certainly, John. What’s the story?
GP: Well, it’s a Mr Alan Jameson, a 53-year-old carpenter. He’s been an infrequent attender in the past but he came to see me this morning complaining of pain in his right leg and in his back.
Consultant: And when did this start?
GP: Well, it came on about six weeks ago and it’s become gradually more severe over the past couple of weeks.
Consultant: Was the pain localized?
GP: No, poorly. At first he thought he’d just pulled a muscle. But it’s got so bad that he hasn’t been able to do his work properly. It’s also been getting to the stage where the pain is waking him up at night, it’s been so severe, and he’s also noticed some tingling in his right foot. He’s having difficulty in carrying on with his work. He’s also lost three kilos and has become quite depressed.
Consultant: Has he had anything similar in the past?
GP: No, not exactly, but he has suffered from intermittent pain in back. Paracetamol gave some relief but didn’t solve the problem completely.
Consultant: Apart from that, any other problems with health in the past?
GP: No, perfectly OK.
Consultant: Did you find anything else on examination?
GP: Yes, as well as the pain he has numbness in his toes on the right foot.
D: Come in, Mr Green. Come and sit down here. I’ve had a letter from your doctor and she tells me that you’ve been having pain, pain in your chest.
P: Yes, and in my arm, and also tingling in my fingers and…
D: Yes, now when did you first notice this pain?
P: Well, I suppose about six months ago.
D: And can you remember when it first came on?
P: Yes, well I remember, I got a bad pain in my chest when I was shopping. It was so bad I couldn’t breathe.
D: And where, in which part of your chest did you feel the pain?
P: Well, right across my chest.
D: And how long did it last?
P: Ooh, about ten minutes.
D: And what did you do when it happened?
P: I had to stop and wait for it to go away.
D: So, have you had this, the pain again since then?
P: Yes, I often get it when I overdo things.
D: Well, I think at this stage I’d like to examine you, your chest. So if you could strip to your waist.
P: Right. There we go.
D: That’s fine. I’ll just check your pulse first of all. Fine. That’s fine. It’s quite normal, seventy per minute. Now your blood pressure. Fine. That’s quite normal too. 130 over 80.
P: Oh, I’m pleased to hear it.
D: Now I’m going to listen to your heart, so I want you to breathe normally… Mm, your heart sounds quite normal.
P: Well, that’s a relief.
D: Well now, I want you to take deep breaths in and out while I check your lungs. In. Out. In. Out. Fine. They’re completely clear. Well, Mr Green, the pain you’ve been having sounds very much like the pain of what we call angina, and this, well, this occurs when not enough oxygen is getting to the heart. Now I’d like to check a few tests, and, following that I’ll be able to advise some treatment for you…

Изучите следующую ситуацию:
Следующие глаголы обычно не используются в present continuous:
| like love hate want need prefer |

Когда think означает ‘believe’ (думать, полагать) или ‘have an opinion’ (иметь мнение), мы не используем continuous:
Когда think означает ‘consider’ (обдумывать), continuous возможен:
Мы используем am/is/are being, чтобы сказать как кто-либо себя ведёт. Это обычно не подходит в других случаях:
Мы обычно используем present simple (не continuous) для этих глаголов:
Мы часто используем can + see/hear/smell/taste:
Вы можете использовать present simple или continuous, чтобы сказать о том, как кто-либо сейчас выглядит или чувствует:

Видео уроки по английскому языку
Преподаватель английского языка: JenniferESL
Продолжительность видео урока: 10 минут 57 секунд.
Студентам бывает легко перепутать времена Simple Present (простое настоящее) и Present Progressive (настоящее длительное). Давайте рассмотрим это на примере глагола think (думать).
I think или I’m thinking? Какова разница между ними?
Первое различие — в том, что именно вы имеете в виду, какой вид думания.
Если вы хотите высказать свое мнение, вам нужно сказать I think, то есть использовать Simple Present. Например: I think, this is a funny movie. I think, this is a very good magazine. I think, it’s very difficult to write in Japanese. Когда вы хотите выразить свое мнение, говорите просто I think или I think that …
Таким образом, мы говорим I think, чтобы выразить свое мнение.
I think , this is a good magazine = In my opinion, the magazine is good.
При этом вы можете пропустить that, сказать:
I think, that this is a good magazine. или I think, this is a good magazine.
Но если вы говорите о процессе думания, когда слово think имеет значение, близкое к decide, consider, reflect (принимать решение, обдумывать), то вам нужно использовать Present Progressive: I am thinking.
Например: We’re thinking of taking a trip to Canada. We haven’t decided yet, but we are thinking about it. Здесь речь идет о размышлении относительно идеи поехать в Канаду, о процессе обдумывания этой мысли и принятия решения.
Вот другой пример. Чтобы создать нужную ситуацию, Дженнифер берет в руки калькулятор и задумывается: I’m thinking. Теперь она объясняет: Я прошу вас не шуметь, потому что боюсь, что шум перебьет мне процесс думания.
Итак, мы говорим I am thinking, когда хотим выразить, что наш мозг работает.
I am thinking = I am considering an idea (I am giving thought to a certain matter).
We’re thinking of taking a trip to Canada = We’re considering the idea. We haven’t decided yet.
I am thinking = I am reflecting on something.
Вот пример на карточке:
-Why are you sitting here in the dark? Are you trying to sleep?
-No. I’m thinking about work. There have been so many changes lately. I’m not sure I like them. Maybe it’s time to find a new job.
= I’m reflecting on all the changes at work.
Здесь I’m thinking означает: я обдумываю все изменения на работе.
Итак, в рассмотренных примерах разница зависит от вида думания. Еще раз: хотите выразить свое мнение — употребите I think. Хотите описать процесс думания — выбирайте I’m thinking.
Еще один различительный признак: время.
Когда вы говорите обо всяком времени, времени вообще, используйте Simple Present: I think. Например, я пишу письмо своей подруге. Я пишу ей:
Hello, Traci! I just wanted to let you know that I think of you often …
«Я думаю о тебе часто», то есть «я много думаю о тебе, мысли о тебе все время присутствуют в моем сознании».
Итак, мы используем Simple Present, когда хотим показать, что мысли о ком-то или о чем-то постоянно находятся у нас в голове, все время или часто.
Пример (фрагмент из письма на карточке):
Hello! I just wanted to let you know that I think of you often …
= Thoughts of you are often in my mind.
Но рассмотрим следующий пример. Мой друг сейчас в больнице, я беру телефон и говорю ему: Hi, how are you? I’m thinking of you.
Я хочу сообщить своему другу, что прямо сейчас я думаю о нем, что он — в моих мыслях.
Итак, мы используем I am thinking (Present Progressive), когда хотим показать, что думаем о ком-то или о чем-то прямо в момент разговора.
Пример телефонного разговора (на карточке):
Hi. How are you? I just wanted to let you know that I’m thinking of you = Thoughts of you are in my mind at this moment. I’m sending good wishes to you right now.
Ну что ж, давайте повторим эти различия.
Мы используем Simple Present (I think), чтобы выразить мнение или чтобы сказать о том, что мы имеем какие-то мысли всегда, постоянно, применительно к настоящему в самом общем смысле.
Мы используем Present Progressive (I am thinking), чтобы описать, как мы размышляем, обдумываем что-то, и чтобы сообщить о тех мыслях, которые посещают нас прямо в момент разговора.
Вы заметили, что Дженнифер говорит: I think that … I think of … I think about …
Давайте обсудим различия между ними.
Используйте of или about, чтобы ввести имя существительное, местоимение или именное сочетание:
Do you often think about Henry? (имя существительное)
Are you thinking of him right now? (местоимение)
Kathy still thinks of her old boyfriend Henry (именное сочетание).
Как узнать, когда использовать about или of?
Вы можете «думать о чем-либо»: think about и think of something. Обычно между ними нет никакой разницы. Например:
What do you think about the new boss? What do you think of the new boss?
И тот, и другой вопросы приглашают высказать свое мнение о новом начальнике.
Но давайте подумаем над такими примерами:
Can you think of someone who can help? Здесь подразумевается: мгновенно представить себе имя того, кто может помочь.
I need to think about all the possibilities before I make a decision. На этот раз речь идет о размышлении, которое требует времени.
Обратите внимание!
Инфинитивы и глаголы в повелительном наклонении не употребляются в длительных временах. Например:
I want to think about it.
I need you to think of the solution.
Давайте выполним упражнение.
Прочитайте диалог и выберите глагол, чтобы предложение было построено правильно:
Wendy: Have you seen all the James Bond films?
Jake: I have, and (I think/I’m thinking) that Sean Connery made the best James Bond.
Co-worker 2: Good, thanks. You know (I often think/I’m often thinking) that parenting is harder then any office job.
Customer: I’m not sure.
Salesperson: (I think/I’m thinking) the coat looks great on you. And it’s on sale today.
Roommate 2: Shh… not now. (I’m thinking/I think). I need quiet to finish this math problem.
Student 2: Our teacher explained things well, but (I think/I’m thinking) that German grammar is difficult in general.
Wife: I know it’s silly, but (I think/I’m thinking) of getting old, and I feel sad that all good things have to end.
Husband: Don’t (think/be thinking) of such sad things!
Magician: (Do you think/Are you thinking) of 43?
Child: No, 71. I guess you can’t really do magic.
Father: Do I? I just realized that I look and sound exactly like my own father when he was my age.
Businessman 2: Let me (be thinking/think) about it.
Brian: I care for you, Eve, but I need time (to think/to be thinking).
Claire: Maybe. My parents (think/are thinking) about it because my father got a very good job offer in Los Angeles.
Примечание к №9: break up with me — порвать отношения со мной.

It’s raining. Don’t go out. You’ll get wet

Hi guys! how is it going?
I know that «be going to do» is used when there is an evidence present. Then, shouldn’t the sentence be like «It’s raining. Don’t go out. You’re going to get wet»?
If we can use both, how are they different? The difference might be subtle, but I want to know.

«It’s raining. Don’t go out. You’re going to get wet.» this is awkward and not really idiomatic.
«It’s raining. Don’t go out. If you do, you’re going to get wet.»
MOJO_JOJO

Thanks for the answer PaulQ!
Actually, I don’t really find a big difference between the first and second sentences.. I feel like in the first one, «If you do» is omitted, and so I think it’s acceptable. (maybe not)
And just one more thing. Unlike you said «will is used in all sentences», my grammar book divides the use of going to and will. Let me just bring some.
1. Look at those black clouds. It’s going to rain. (not It will rain)
(We can see that it is going to rain from the clouds that are in the sky now)
2. I feel terrible. I think I’m going to be sick. (not I think I’ll be sick)
(I think I’m going to be sick because I feel terrible now.)
If you’re right, we’d be able to say «it will rain» and «I think I’ll be sick» too right?

Before I write something, thanks again to PaulQ and OaksnRoses.
Well.. I’ve been trying to understand what you said, but I still don’t understand why will is a stronger form than going to, and why will in the sentence is OK but be going to is not. Let me just write what I’m thinking
First, when we predict, we use will based on our opinion or feeling, and use going to based on evidence.
If I could put how much we’re sure on each word, I think will would be 70
80% and going to would be 98%.
So I think going to is a stronger form than will.
And also, I don’t really get what makes it sound awkward if I say «It’s raining. Don’t go out. You’re going to get wet»
Is it because he will be able not to get wet if he doesn’t go out? So will is more natural because, as I wrote above, will is like 70
80% sure?
(And if we use going to there instead, does it sound like he will 100% get wet whether he goes out or not?)
Or other reason??
Sorry that I wrote something like this, after I said like everything was clear.

Do you have difficulty waking up in the morning? Do you find it hard to concentrate in class? Does your mood change often or do you sometimes feel sad without a reason? Then, maybe you are not getting enough sleep.
Most teens need about 8 to 9 hours of sleep each night. This is necessary for anyone who wants to do well in exams or play sport and don’t feel exhausted afterwards. However, many teens usually go to bed late. This may be because the hormone that regulates sleep appears later at night during a young person’s teenage years.
In some schools, middle and high school classes start later to help teens get more sleep. If your school doesn’t do that, try to get more sleep. Relax your mind, avoid drinks with caffeine and stay away from bright lights before you go to bed. This will help both your body and mind work better!
Спите хорошо
Вам трудно просыпаться утром? Вам сложно сконцентрироваться в классе? У вас часто меняется настроение или вы иногда чувствуете беспричинную печаль? Тогда, может быть вы недостаточно много спите.
Большинству подростков требуется около 8-9 часов сна каждую ночь. Это необходимо всем, кто хочет хорошо сдавать экзамены или заниматься спортом, и не чувствовать себя после этого выжатым как лимон. Однако, многие подростки обычно ложатся спать поздно. Возможно, это потому что гормоны, регулирующие сон, в подростковом возрасте появляются поздно ночью.
В некоторых школах, средних и старших классах уроки начинаются позже, чтобы позволить подросткам выспаться. Если в вашей школе не так, старайтесь спать больше. Очистите свой разум, избегайте напитков с кофеином и яркого света перед тем как лечь спать. Это поможет и вашему телу, и разуму работать лучше!
Present Continuous and Simple Present with a future meaning
a) Present Continuous with a future meaning Study this example situation:
This is Tom s diary for next week. 92
He is playing tennis on Monday afternoon. He is going to the dentist on Tuesday morning. He is having dinner with Ann on Friday.
In all these examples, Tom has already decided and arranged to do these things.
When you are talking about what you have already arranged to do, use the Present Continuous (/ am doing).
— A: What are you doing tomorrow evening? B: I’m going to the theatre.
— A: Are you playing football tomorrow?
B: Yes, but Tom isn’t playing. He has hurt his leg.
— A: Ann is coming tomorrow.
B: Oh, is she? What time is she arriving?
B: Are you meeting her at the station?
A: I can’t. I’m working tomorrow morning.
When we use the Present Continuous in this way, we often give the future time, (eg on Saturday evening, on Monday, this afternoon, next weekend)
The Present Continuous cannot be used to express an event that has not been arranged by human beings. We cannot say: It is snowing tomorrow. The sun is rising at 5.00 tomorrow morning.
The verbs found in this tense are for the kind of events you would put in your diary, that is, verbs of activity and motion.
b) Simple Present with a future meaning
We use the Simple Present when we are talking about timetables, programmes, etc. (for example: for public transport, cinemas)
— What time does the film begin?
— The train leaves Plymouth at 10.30 and arrives in London at 13.45.
— The football match starts at 8 o’clock.
— Tomorrow is Wednesday.
— The Cup Final takes place on April 13.
We do not normally use the Simple Present for present arrangements.
What time are you meeting Ann? (not «do you meet»)

But thank you for offering, Ann. I (ask) you next time.
Going to (/ am going to do)
1. We use going to (do) when we say what we have already decided to do, what we intend to do in the future, it expresses a premeditated intention. The going to future shows that we have a clear plan in our mind.
I’m going to have a party next weekend. (I have a plan to have a party.)
He’s going to buy a second-hand car. (He intends to buy a second-hand car.)
— A: There’s a film on television tonight. Are you going
to watch it? B: No, I’m too tired. I’m going to have an early night.
— A: I hear Ann has won a lot of money. What is she going
to do with it? B: I’ve heard she’s going to travel round the world.
— A: Have you made the coffee yet?
B: No, but I’m just going to make it. (just = just at this moment)
2. Going to can also express a prediction, especially when it is based on a present fact. There is evidence now that something is certain to happen.
She’s going to have a baby. (We can see she’s pregnant.) Liverpool are going to win the match. (It’s four nil, and there’s only five minutes left.) It isn’t going to rain. (Look at that lovely blue sky.) Watch out! Those boxes are going to fall over! Oh dear. Too late.
3. We use was/were going to to say what someone intended to do in the past (but didn’t do):
— We were going to travel by tram but then we decided to go by car.
— A: Did Tom do the examination?
В: No, he was going to do it but in the end he changed his mind.
— I was just going to cross the road when someone shouted «Stop!»
Will or Going to
1. We use both will and going to in predictions about the future, but there is a difference:
We use will to talk about what We use going to (not will) when
we think or believe will happen there is something m the present
m the future situation that shows what will
happen in the future The speaker feels sure about what will happen because of the situation now
I think Tom will get the job Look at those black clouds It’s
We’ll be there by Monday night. going to ram (the clouds are there now)
I feel terrible I think I’m going to be sick (I feel terrible now )
2. We use both will and going to to express intention, to talk what we intend to do but there is a difference here:
Will is used to express a Going to is used to express a
decision or intention made future plan, decision or intention
at the moment of speaking made before the moment of speaking.
«Oh dear’ I’ve spilt some wine «Why have you moved all the
on my jacket » «Don’t worry furniture out of the room?» «I’m
I’ll clean it for you » going to clean the carpet.»

So your icons in the window are as wavy as a souse,
Then you may as well reboot and go out with a bang,
‘Cause as sure as I’m a poet, the sucker’s gonna hang!

And the microcode instructions cause unnecessary risk,
