Grade 10 Going to and Will Grammar Worksheet

Student Task

• Present the rule box first, modelling both forms with a simple example of your own before students begin. Exercise 1 works well as independent or pair work with clear right answers to check. Exercise 2 (Plan or Prediction?) benefits from a quick whole-class example before students continue independently, since deciding which form fits a situation takes more judgement than simple completion. Exercise 3's error-correction task works well as pair work, since discussing why a sentence is wrong reinforces the underlying rule. Exercise 4 can be done as a written task or adapted into a quick speaking warm-up.

Classroom Use

• Turn Exercise 4's personal questions into a quick mingling activity: have students stand up, ask a classmate one of the questions, listen to the answer, then find a new partner and repeat with a different question.

Differentiation

SUPPORT: Allow students to keep the rule box visible while completing Exercises 2 and 3, and accept simpler sentences in Exercise 2 as long as the correct form is used.
ON-LEVEL: Students complete all four exercises independently or in pairs as designed.
CHALLENGE: Ask students to write a second sentence for each situation in Exercise 2, using the other future form appropriately (for example, adding a prediction after stating a plan).

Answer Key & Assessment

Check Exercises 1 and 3 against the answer key for accuracy. Review Exercise 2 for a correctly chosen form (going to or will) matched to the situation, and review Exercise 4 for accurate, natural use of both forms rather than a single fixed answer.

Learning Objectives

• Students will be able to distinguish between going to and will based on context.
• Students will be able to correctly complete sentences using going to or will.
• Students will be able to identify and correct a sentence that misuses going to or will.
• Students will be able to answer personal questions about their own future using both forms.

Teacher Tips

When checking Exercise 2, ask students to explain their reasoning, not just state their answer — hearing a classmate explain why a situation is "already decided" versus "just a guess" often clarifies the distinction better than a teacher's explanation alone.
