#conversations 🌹🌹🌟🌟🍃🍂🍁🍃🌟🌟🌹🌹 🌹English Phrases For New Year’s Resolutions I’M GOING TO… I’M NOT GOING TO… ✍Use these phrases to talk about plans and intentions for the future. I’m going to spend more time with my family. I’m not going to work so much. ✍In spoken English, “going to” is pronounced gonna – but do not write gonna in written English. You can write it in very informal e-mails and chats with friends, but not in a professional or academic situation. I’M PLANNING TO… ✍Use this phrase for things that you are almost definitely going to do – often things that you have already scheduled or made some preparations for. I’m planning to visit Disneyland in July. I’m planning to take dance classes. I already signed up. I HOPE TO… I’D LIKE TO… ✍Use these phrases for things that you want to do (but it’s not yet definite). I hope to read more books this year. I’d like to be more organized. I MIGHT… I MAY… I’M THINKING OF/ABOUT… ✍Might and may are like MAYBE. Use these phrases for things you are considering, but you’re not sure if you will do it or not. I might take some piano lessons, if I have enough free time. I may look for a new job. My current job is too stressful. I’m thinking about moving to a different city – but I’m not sure where. ✍After thinking of / about, use the -ING form of the verb. Common English error: ✍Don’t use TO with might, may, or thinking! I’m thinking to buy a new car. I’m thinking of buying a new car. 🌹Phrases In English Conversation “Have you got any resolutions for the new year?” “I’m going to start exercising more, for one thing. I hope to lose 10 pounds by April.” “Why April?” “My sister is getting married, so I’d like to look good in the wedding pictures!” ‘That’s a good motivator!” “So how about you? What are you going to change this year?” “I’m going to cut down on my spending – I’m not going to eat out, I’d like to start cooking at home instead.” “How come? Are you saving up for something?” “Yeah, I’m planning to buy a house by the end of the year.” “Ah, that’s fantastic. Whereabouts?” “Probably in the same neighborhood where I live now – but I might look at some other areas if I can find a good price.” “Great, well, good luck with your goals!” “Thanks, you too.” ✍CONVERSATION NOTES: “Have you got…” is the same as “Do you have…” in this context When you want to do or complete something before a date in the future, use the preposition by: “I hope to lose 10 pounds by April.” Don’t say “until April.” The phrasal verb eat out means to eat outside your home – at a restaurant or cafe. How come? is an informal way to ask Why? The phrasal verb save up for means to save money for a specific purpose. Whereabouts? is an informal way to ask Where? 🌹Use The English Phrases Today!
