After an anonymous phone call, the police go to a house to arrest a suspected murderer. They don't know what he looks like but they know his name is John and that he is inside the house. The police bust in on a carpenter, a truck driver, a mechanic and a fireman all playing poker. Without hesitation or communication of any kind, they immediately arrest the fireman. How do they know they've got their man?
Ask yes/no questions to try to guess the explanation.

Look at the audioscript on p. 175. In Devi’s story, find each of the following:
1 something Devi has already decided to do: “I’m not going to stay in this job forever.”
2 something Devi has arranged to do: “I’m taking the entrance exam next month.”
3 something Devi decides while she is speaking: “I suppose I’ll tell him soon.”

Grammar: decisions and plans about the future

decision right now = will + base form: I will meet with him tomorrow, because I don’t have time now.
prior plan = [be] going to + base form: I’m going to meet with him tomorrow. I already decided this.
plan & arrangements = [be] + verb(ing): I’m meeting with him tomorrow. We talked about it.
	(Present continuous can only be used with dynamic/action verbs. NO *I’m needing it tomorrow.)
{scheduled event = simple present: I meet with him tomorrow.}

BREAK

p. 49 part 8 - Choose the correct options with your partner.
1 I’m taking
2 I’m starting (She’s telling us about her plans for the summer, so 1 and 2 are things she has already decided and arranged.)
3 I’m going to take (“That starts in October,” so she has thought about this and decided already.)
4 I’m going to manage (this is sort of a prediction more than a plan)
5 they are going to do (“They don’t know what they’re doing.” = They don’t know what they’re doing right now. “They don’t know what they’re doing next summer,” on the other hand, is fine.)
6 I’m going to be (this is a prediction, not a plan; also being a great mechanic isn’t an action)
7 I’ll have (this is also a prediction more than a plan)
