Hello everyone welcome to the English Danny Channel and Happy New Year.

Today we are going to be talking about the new year and about in America at

least what we'd like to do after the new year which is set something called new

year's resolutions what exactly our new year's resolutions and how can we talk

about them in English well New Year's resolutions are essentially plans that

you make that improve your life over the next year in America we like to set

things set a plan in our life that will improve our health or some other thing

in our life that maybe this year wasn't so good and that we want to change some

popular choices are I think definitely the number one is go to the gym exercise

more often eat healthier improve your diet it's also very popular learning

about something maybe a language like English or a skill if you want to learn

a musical instrument that's very popular spending more time with your family

maybe getting a pet or volunteer work these are all very popular things to set

your resolution for so how can we talk about our resolutions in day to day

speech if you want to talk about this with your friend if you ask them what

the plan is for the next year you're going to be talking about the future so

you have to be using future tenses and there are four future tenses in

English but we really only use two of them to talk about making plans and then

there's a third way to talk about the future as well which we'll talk about

later in the video so the first way and the easiest way to talk about the future

or to talk about your plans is to use simple future tense and this is very

easy it's just I will the word will is a marker to show in a sentence that you

are going to talk about the future and we can use it to talk about our plans or

even to predict the future in the case of resolutions you are predicting your

own future and also showing your own willingness and your want to do

something some examples of this in use very easy just I will go to the gym I

will eat less junk food these are both very very popular New Year's resolutions

and are very easy to say the other tents that we can use when we talk about the

future and ourselves is the present continuous tense and this is in a phrase

will be I will be verb in the present tense form of the verb this is used to

project ourselves into the future and to imagine what we might be doing at a

specific time so some examples of this I will be exercising every day in 2020 or

I will be visiting my family every month this year the third way that we can talk

about the future especially New Year's resolutions and

this is also a more informal and natural way to talk to your friends in a

conversation is to use the word going instead of will so you can use the word

going to talk about your plans and this has three parts the first part is the to

be verb conjugated to match the subject so if he is the subject you would say he

is where she is I am they are so you have to conjugate

the verb to be and then paired pair it with going so you can say I am going and

the third part is the infinitive form of the main verb so you can say I am going

to practice speaking English this year this shows that you are talking about

the future and you are making a plan and a commitment to improve your English and

practice this year another another example of this with a different subject

and verb conjugation is they are going to graduate school this year so you can

see that I changed the verb as well and at the same time the verb conjugation to

be changed because the subject is de the use of going to talk about the future is

mainly used to talk about plans or intentions and sometimes even to make

predictions about the future so its usage is very similar to just simple

future tense I will I am going to are often used in the same

way okay students that's our lesson on the New Year's resolutions and I hope
