play good. What exactly is ungrammatical about this sentence?
Many language learners produce ungrammatical structures. The ungrammatical about this
sentence is that Negative do isn’t used with a modal.
Do the forms can and be able to mean the same thing? How about may and be allowed
to? and will and be going to?
c. )Will- be going to
If we want to express intention or prediction all of these can be used, but there are differences
between them. The form “be going to “ can’t express willingness, in contrast with will. Be
going to: It indicates that future action is related to the present and will occur relatively soon
after the speech. We can make difference between immediate and remote future. In case of
immediate future (i.e.: right now) we can use be going to, in the other case (i.e.: tomorrow)
we can use will. Anyway, in case of be going to the action has already decided or planned. So
with be going to the action is more certain, than with will.
