1. Q1I ___ going to visit my friend tomorrow.

   Abe Bam Cis Dare

   Answer: B. am

   We use 'am' with the subject 'I' for future plans. The full pattern is 'am/is/are + going to'.

2. Q2She ___ going to call me later.

   Aam Bare Cbe Dis

   Answer: D. is

   We use 'is' for one person or thing like 'she,' 'he,' or 'it.' Example: 'She is going to call.'

3. Q3They ___ going to buy a new car.

   Aam Bis Cbe Dare

   Answer: D. are

   We use 'are' for more than one person, such as 'they' or 'we.' Example: 'They are going to buy a car.'

4. Q4We ___ not going to eat here.

   Aam Bare Cbe Dis

   Answer: B. are

   For the subject 'we,' always use 'are.' To make it negative, simply add 'not' after 'are.' Example: 'We are not going to go.'

5. Q5___ you going to finish your homework?

   ADo BAm CAre DIs

   Answer: C. Are

   To ask a question with 'you,' start the sentence with 'Are.' Avoid using 'Do' because 'going to' needs a form of 'to be' (am, is, or are).

6. Q6He ___ going to work on Saturday.

   Aare Bbe Cam Dis

   Answer: D. is

   Use 'is' with the subject 'he.' Example: 'He is going to work.'

7. Q7I'm ___ to clean the kitchen.

   Agoing Bgoes Cgone Dgo

   Answer: A. going

   The correct phrase for future plans is always 'going to.' Words like 'go,' 'goes,' or 'gone' do not fit this grammar pattern.

8. Q8It ___ going to be a long day.

   Abe Bare Cis Dam

   Answer: C. is

   Use 'is' with the singular subject 'it.' Example: 'It is going to be cold today.'

9. Q9___ she going to travel by train?

   ADo BIs CAm DAre

   Answer: B. Is

   To ask a question about one person ('she'), start the sentence with 'Is.' Don't use 'Do' or 'Am' here.

10. Q10My brother ___ going to help me.

    Aam Bare Cis Dbe

    Answer: C. is

    'My brother' is one person (he), so we use 'is.' If there were two brothers, we would use 'are.'

11. Q11We ___ going to leave soon.

    Aam Bare Cis Dbe

    Answer: B. are

    Use 'are' with the subject 'we.' Example: 'We are going to leave.'

12. Q12The children ___ going to sleep early.

    Aare Bbe Cis Dam

    Answer: A. are

    'Children' means more than one child, so we must use the plural form 'are.'

13. Q13I am not ___ to see that movie.

    Agone Bgo Cgoing Dgoes

    Answer: C. going

    The full future form is 'am/is/are + not + going to.' Even in a negative sentence, you must keep the word 'going.'

14. Q14Are you ___ to cook dinner?

    Agone Bgoes Cgo Dgoing

    Answer: D. going

    In questions, the pattern is still 'going to' followed by an action verb. Example: 'Are you going to cook?'

15. Q15He ___ going to play soccer today.

    Aare Bam Cis Dbe

    Answer: C. is

    Use 'is' for the singular subject 'he.' Example: 'He is going to play.'

16. Q16Choose the correct sentence.

    AI'm going to study tonight. BI'm going study tonight. CI'm go to study tonight. DI go to study tonight.

    Answer: A. I'm going to study tonight.

    You must always have 'to' after 'going' and before the action. 'I'm going study' is incorrect because the 'to' is missing.

17. Q17She ___ a new job next month.

    Ais start Bis going to start Cis going start Dstart

    Answer: B. is going to start

    For a planned intention, use 'is going to' plus the base verb 'start.' The options 'is start' and 'is going start' are missing important parts. 'Start' without 'is going to' is missing the auxiliary and subject-verb agreement.

18. Q18We ___ our grandparents this weekend.

    Aare going visit Bare visit Care going to visit Dvisit

    Answer: C. are going to visit

    For future plans with 'we,' use 'are going to' plus the action word 'visit.' The choice 'are visit' is incorrect.

19. Q19Correct the error: 'I'm going buy a new phone.'

    AI'm go to buy a new phone. BI'm going buy a new phone. CI'm going to buy a new phone. DI go to buy a new phone.

    Answer: C. I'm going to buy a new phone.

    You must include the word 'to' after 'going' in this structure. 'I'm going buy' is a common mistake.

20. Q20My sister ___ for the exam next week.

    Ais going to study Bis study Cis going study Dstudies

    Answer: A. is going to study

    Use 'is going to study' for a plan. 'is study' and 'is going study' are missing 'going' or 'to.'

21. Q21They ___ a party on Friday.

    Ahave Bare going to have Care going have Dare have

    Answer: B. are going to have

    Use 'are going to' followed by the action ('have') for a planned event.

22. Q22Choose the correct sentence.

    AAre you going to invite him? BYou going to invite him? CAre you go to invite him? DDo you going to invite him?

    Answer: A. Are you going to invite him?

    The correct question form uses 'Are' + subject + 'going to.' Using 'Do' is incorrect with this grammar.

23. Q23Correct the error: 'He is going to not come.'

    AHe is going to no come. BHe is not going to come. CHe is going to not come. DHe not going to come.

    Answer: B. He is not going to come.

    In negative sentences, 'not' must go after 'is.' Putting 'not' after 'going to' is incorrect.

24. Q24We ___ a new house soon.

    Aare rent Bare going to rent Care going rent Drent

    Answer: B. are going to rent

    For a future plan, use 'are going to' plus the action word. 'are rent' and 'are going rent' are incomplete forms.

25. Q25She ___ her homework tonight.

    Ais do Bdoes Cis going do Dis going to do

    Answer: D. is going to do

    Use 'is going to' plus the main verb 'do' to show an intention. 'is going do' is missing the 'to.'

26. Q26Choose the correct sentence.

    AWe are going meet at five. BWe are go to meet at five. CWe are going to meet at five. DWe going to meet at five.

    Answer: C. We are going to meet at five.

    This sentence correctly uses 'are' with 'we,' followed by the full phrase 'going to' and the verb 'meet.'

27. Q27I ___ my room this afternoon.

    Aclean Bam clean Cam going clean Dam going to clean

    Answer: D. am going to clean

    Use 'am going to' for your own plans. 'am clean' is missing 'going to,' and 'am going clean' is missing 'to.'

28. Q28Correct the error: 'They is going to leave.'

    AThey are go to leave. BThey are going to leave. CThey is going to leave. DThey going to leave.

    Answer: B. They are going to leave.

    Use 'are' for 'they' because it is plural. 'is' is only for one person.

29. Q29I have my ticket. I ___ to Paris tomorrow.

    Agoing to fly Bflies Cam going to fly Dam fly

    Answer: C. am going to fly

    Use 'am going to' for a plan you have already decided on and arranged, such as when you have already bought a ticket. 'Going to fly' is missing the auxiliary 'am'. 'Flies' is the third-person singular form and is incorrect with the subject 'I'. 'Am fly' is not a grammatical verb form.

30. Q30Look at those dark clouds! It ___ rain.

    Ais Bare going to Cis going to Dbe

    Answer: C. is going to

    We use 'is going to' for a prediction when we can see evidence (dark clouds) right now. Use 'is' because 'it' is singular.

31. Q31Watch out! You ___ fall.

    Aare going to Bis going to Cbe going to Dam going to

    Answer: A. are going to

    Use 'are going to' with 'you.' This is a prediction based on what you see happening right at this moment.

32. Q32Look at the car! It ___ crash.

    Aam going to Bare going to Cbe going to Dis going to

    Answer: D. is going to

    Use 'is going to' with 'it.' This describes something that is about to happen based on what you see.

33. Q33Choose the correct sentence.

    ALook at the sky; it going to rain. BLook at the sky; it's going to rain. CLook at the sky; it rain. DLook at the sky; it's go to rain.

    Answer: B. Look at the sky; it's going to rain.

    'It's' is short for 'it is.' We use 'is going to' for predictions based on evidence we can see, like the sky.

34. Q34Be careful! That glass ___ break.

    Ais going to Bbe going to Cam going to Dare going to

    Answer: A. is going to

    'That glass' is one thing, so use 'is.' We use 'is going to' because there is a danger we can see right now.

35. Q35Correct the error: 'Look at that boy, he is going fall.'

    AHe is going fall. BHe is going to fall. CHe is go to fall. DHe are going to fall.

    Answer: B. He is going to fall.

    You must always include 'to' between 'going' and the action word. 'He is going fall' is incorrect because 'to' is missing.

36. Q36The thermometer is rising. It ___ be hot today.

    Aam going to Bis going to Care going to Dbe going to

    Answer: B. is going to

    When we see evidence (the thermometer rising), we use 'is going to' to predict what will happen next.

37. Q37She looks tired. She ___ sleep soon.

    Ais going to Bare going to Cam going to Dbe going to

    Answer: A. is going to

    Her looking tired is evidence of what will happen soon. Use 'is going to' with the subject 'she.'

38. Q38Choose the correct sentence.

    AWatch out, you're go to drop it. BWatch out, you going to drop it. CWatch out, you're going to drop it. DWatch out, you go to drop it.

    Answer: C. Watch out, you're going to drop it.

    'You're' is short for 'you are.' This correctly follows the pattern 'are + going to + verb.' Phrases like 'you're go to' are incorrect.

39. Q39Look at the ice! It ___ melt.

    Aam going to Bis going to Cbe going to Dare going to

    Answer: B. is going to

    Use 'is going to' with the subject 'it' for a prediction based on what you see.

40. Q40Correct the error: 'They are going to rain.' (context: looking at clouds)

    AThey are going to rain. BIt is go to rain. CIt is going to rain. DThey is going to rain.

    Answer: C. It is going to rain.

    For weather, we always use the subject 'it.' Using 'they' is incorrect when talking about rain.

41. Q41He is driving too fast. He ___ have an accident.

    Aare going to Bbe going to Cis going to Dam going to

    Aare going to Bbe going to Cam going to Dis going to

    Answer: D. is going to

    Use 'is going to' for a prediction based on something you can see happening right now. Use 'is' with the singular subject 'it.'

44. Q44That dog is barking. It ___ bite.

    Abe going to Bam going to Cis going to Dare going to
