Answer Explanations

Question 1 Explanation

The correct answer is am going to. The subject “I” takes “am” in the going to future structure. The phrase “next weekend” shows that the sentence is about a future plan. The main verb “visit” stays in the base form after going to.

Question 2 Explanation

The correct answer is is going to. The subject “she” is singular, so we use “is” before going to. The word “tomorrow” clearly points to a future time. The sentence describes her plan to buy a new backpack.

Question 3 Explanation

The correct answer is going to. This is a question with the going to future structure. The auxiliary “are” is already used before the subject “you,” so the missing part is going to. The verb “call” stays in the base form after it.

Question 4 Explanation

The correct answer is going to. In negative future plan sentences, we use the negative form of “be” before going to. The words “are not” are already given in the sentence. The sentence means that they do not plan to travel by train this year.

Question 5 Explanation

The correct answer is are going to. The subject “we” needs “are” in the going to future structure. The word “tonight” shows that the action is planned for the future. The sentence means that the speakers have a plan to have dinner at a restaurant.

Question 6 Explanation

The correct answer is going to. This is a yes/no question about a future plan. The auxiliary “is” is already at the beginning of the question, so the missing part is going to. The main verb “play” stays in the base form after it.

Question 7 Explanation

The correct answer is is going to. “My sister” is a singular subject, so the correct form of “be” is “is.” The phrase “next year” shows a future time. The sentence describes a future plan to learn French.

Question 8 Explanation

The correct answer is is going to. We can use going to for predictions based on present evidence. The black clouds are evidence that snow may happen soon. With the subject “it,” we use “is” before going to.

Question 9 Explanation

The correct answer is going to. This is a question about a future plan. The auxiliary “are” is already placed before the subject “they.” After going to, the main verb “eat” must stay in the base form.

Question 10 Explanation

The correct answer is going to. In a negative going to sentence, we use “am not” before going to. The words “am not” are already given, so the missing part is going to. The sentence means that the speaker does not plan to stay up late tonight.

Question 11 Explanation

The correct answer is is going to. “The teacher” is a singular subject, so the correct form is “is going to.” The phrase “on Friday” shows that the action will happen in the future. The sentence describes a planned test.

Question 12 Explanation

The correct answer is are going to. The subject “you” takes “are” in the going to structure. The sentence is a prediction based on the present situation: the person has not left yet. The meaning is that being late is a likely future result.

Question 13 Explanation

The correct answer is going to. In a question with going to, the form of “be” comes before the subject. The auxiliary “are” is already at the beginning of the question. The missing part is going to, followed by the base verb “watch.”

Question 14 Explanation

The correct answer is clean. After going to, we use the base form of the main verb. We do not use an -ing form or a past form after going to. The correct structure is “is going to clean.”

Question 15 Explanation

The correct answer is are going to. The subject “they” is plural, so we use “are” before going to. The phrase “next month” shows a future plan. The sentence means that they plan to open a small shop.
