After this lesson...

• You can give an example of an (un)countable noun and use too many/too much correctly to support it.
  
• You can identify the difference of when to use will/be going to.

Lesson plan

• 5 min: Refresh your memories from Tuesday by doing a short grammar exercise.
  
• 10 min: Instruction on when/how to use will and be going to
  
• 10 min: Practice together.
• 10 min: Give me some feedback and start working on the homework.

Can you give an example sentence in which you give either a countable or uncountable noun, using "too many" or "too much"?

Will / be going to

The Rule: will (+ not) + infinitive
You use will to express what we think is going to happen; expressing prediction, promises, and offers.

> She will be here soon. I'm sure.

> My sister will not tell anyone.

> I will carry your books for you.

Will / be going to

The Rule: will (+ not) + infinitive

You use a contracted form ('ll) behind the pronoun, in informal speech. In negative sentences, use the contracted form won't.

> I'll pay you back tomorrow.

> You'll arrive last, as always.

> The party won't take all night.

• 'll kan alleen gebruikt worden bij personal pronouns (I, you, he, etc.); niet bij normale nouns!
• won't kan daarentegen wel gebruikt worden als een contraction waarin de noun het onderwerp van de zin is!

Will / be going to

The Rule: to be' + going to + infinitive

It's used to indicate plans and decisions (made before the moment of speaking).

> Don't sit on that chair. I'm going to paint it.

> As soon as it reopens, I'm going to go to the gym.

> I'm going to park in the station. If it's full, I'll park here.

Note that for decisions at the time of speaking-- dus die niet vooraf al besloten zijn-- we use will.
