SHALL

✪ 'Shall' is used mainly in the forms 'shall I ?' and 'shall we?' in British English. These forms are used when you want to get someone's opinion, especially for offers and suggestions: ✰ Shall I open the window? (= do you want me to open the window) ✰ Where shall we go tonight? (= what's your opinion?)

be going to

FORM

USES

PRESENT CONTINUOUS

✪ Although the present continuous is a present tense (as we have already seen in previous units), we can also use it to talk about the future in the same way that we use 'be going to': for plans in the near future. ✰ I am travelling to Berlin next month. Me voy a Berlín el mes que viene.
