Там было...

Настало время вспомнить все, а именно конструкции there is / there are и be going to в разных временах и особенности их употребления, ведь тебе предстоит выполнить несколько заданий с ними.

Перед тем, как приступить к делу, давай вспомним самое основное:

• there is / are позволяет нам сказать, что и где есть или находится, there was / were и there will be помогают сказать, что где было или будет соответственно.

Например:

• People drive so carelessly. There are so many accidents nowadays. - Говорим о текущей ситуации.
• In the past people drove more carefully, so there were less accidents. - Говорим о прошлом.
• I hope we will change our ways and there will be few accidents in the near future. - Говорим с надеждой о будущем.

• be going to позволяет выразить наши задумки и идеи. Глагол be изменяется по временам и числам (am / is / are / was / were) и указывает конкретно, в какой промежуток времени у нас были планы (в Present или Past).

Например:

• When he was 7 years old, he was going to be a world-famous artist. - Намерения в прошлом.
• He has entered University of the Arts London this year and he is going to organize his own exhibition. His works are really masterpieces. - Планы в настоящем.
• Вот мы и освежили в памяти ключевые моменты по изученным темам, а сейчас выполни несколько заданий:
