OPENING CONVERSATION 
Hello, students! 
In this lesson we will study how we can express our opinions by using 
adjectives. Then, we will learn how to make predictions for the future using will 
and be going to – we will contrast both and analyse when it is best to use one or 
the other form. 
In the sequence, we will learn useful words and phrases to use when 
making decisions and plans. Still in the topic of future, we will study how to use 
will for spontaneous decisions and things we haven’t planned beforehand. 
In the last theme of this class, we will learn how to use the present 
continuous to refer to future plans involving others. The content covered in this 
class is in your Evolve 3 e-book pages 34 to 37. You can access it on the 
Cambrigde platform. See the image below:

Let’s get it started! 
THEME 1 – EXPRESSING OUR OPINIONS WITH ADJECTIVES 
How do you usually feel when someone surprises you? A surprise birthday 
party, a gift you were not expecting or a display of affection in the middle of other 
people. The truth is some people love surprises and others not so much. 
Access your e-book (p. 34) and listen to the conversation in track 1.31. 
Image 2 – E-book

Answer these questions: 
1. What surprise is Pedro planning for his girlfriend? 
2. Why do his friends think this is not a good idea? 
Check the answers in the answer key box at the end of theme 1. 
You probably noticed in Grant’s and Tony’s tone of voice that they don’t 
like Pedro’s idea. They also use adjectives such as embarrassed and 
disappointing to express their opinions. 
Now, look at the table below. It shows adjectives from the conversation 
you listened that express positive and negative opinions. Can you tell the 
difference between the form that finishes in -ed and the form that finishes in -ing? 
Table 1 – Adjectives that express opinion 
-ed form -ing form 
amused amusing 
annoyed annoying 
disappointed disappointing 
embarrassed embarrassing 
fascinated fascinating 
frightened frightening 
shocked shocking 
surprised surprising 
See this explanation about the difference between the two forms: 
adjectives that end in -ed usually refer to how we feel and adjectives that end in 
-ing usually refer to what makes us feel that way. 
Let’s analyze this example: 
I am so annoyed! Your sister is the most annoying person I know! 
The speaker is saying that he/she feels annoyed or irritated because 
someone’s sister is a very annoying or irritating person. The sister’s behavior is 
what makes the other person feel annoyed. 
Let’s analyze this other example: 
I was really surprised my team won the game. The result was so surprising 
because they lost the last two games. 
 
 
4 
What the speaker means is that he/she feels the surprise (I was really 
surprised) because the team was at a bad moment and lost two games. The 
surprise came from the result of this game, which was surprising. 
Now, do the exercise 1A from your e-book (p. 34). 
Image 3 – E-book 
 
Make sure you look up for new words in a dictionary. Check the answers 
at the end of theme 1. 
 
Now that you know more adjectives to describe opinions and feelings, 
access your e-book (p. 144) and do the exercises 4.1A and 4.1B as assignment. 
Box 1 – Answer Key 
E-book p. 34 Conversation – Reading 
comprehension 
1. What surprise is Pedro planning 
for his girlfriend? 
He wants to meet her at her office 
wearing a bear costume and give 
her a ticket to the zoo. 
 
2. Why do his friends think this is not 
a good idea? 
Because they think this will 
embarrass the girl in front of her 
colleagues from work and she 
won’t like going to the zoo because 
she’s not a kid. 
 
E-book p. 34 Ex. 1A 1. surprised (It describes the speaker’s 
feelings.) 
2. annoyed (It describes the speaker’s 
feelings.) 
3. disappointing (It describes the meal.)

4. embarrassed (It describes the 
speaker’s feelings.) 
5. fascinating (It describes the history 
according to the speaker) 
6. frightening (It describes the movie.) 
7. shocked (It describes the speaker’s 
feelings.) 
8. amusing (It describes Daniela.) 
 
THEME 2 – MAKING PREDICTIONS ABOUT THE FUTURE 
Whenever we plan something for the future, we make predictions. Imagine 
you will travel to the beach. You will probably make predictions about the weather. 
If you plan a surprise to a person you like – such as in the conversation we 
analyzed in theme 1 –, you will try to predict the person’s reactions. We make 
predictions about the weather, people’s reactions, results and so many other 
topics. 
Read the conversation on your e-book page 34 again. You will notice that 
the two friends are trying to predict the girlfriend’s reactions. You can see that the 
two friends use will and be going to in the conversation. We can use both when 
making predictions for the future. 
 
You might be asking yourself “what is the difference when we use will or 
be going to for predicting the future?”. Let’s analyze the examples below: 
We use will or won’t when we predict something without evidence in the 
present. In the examples above “I think she’ll love the surprise” and “I don’t know, 
but I think she won’t like the surprise” the speaker doesn’t have any evidence to 
support their opinion because they use I think and I don’t know. 
I think she’ll love the surprise. 
I don’t know, but I think she won’t like the surprise. 
Look, it’s so cloudy. It’s going to rain soon. 
 
 
6 
On the other hand, in the third example the speaker uses be going to – it’s 
going to rain – because they have present evidence – it’s so cloudy. They can 
see by the clouds in the sky, that the rain is coming. 
Now, practice with the exercise 3B from your e-book (p. 35). 
Image 4 – E-book 
 
Compare your answers with a colleague and justify your choices. Check 
the answers at the end of theme 2. Make sure you understand the correct 
answers. 
After checking your answers to the exercise 3B, go to page 132 of your e-
book. Review the use of will and be going to in the section 4.1. Then, do the 
exercise 4.1A as assignment. 
 
Quick Review 1: use a verb after will / won’t and be going to. 
I think she’ll love the surprise. 
I don’t know, but I think she won’t like surprise. 
Look, it’s so cloudy. It’s going to rain soon. 
 
Quick Review 2: when using be going to, use the correct form of the verb be. 
I am – he/she/it is – you/we/they are 
It’s going to rain soon. 
 
Stretch your speaking: talk to a colleague about your predictions for the 
next weekend. Talk about things you think will or won’t happen and about 
things for which you see evidence in the present.

THEME 3 – MAKING DECISIONS AND PLANS: USEFUL VOCABULARY 
How many decisions do you make in one day? This might be a very difficult 
question to answer as we are always making decisions – what to wear and eat, 
how to organize our daily activities and so many other things. 
Look at the image below taken from your e-book (p. 36) and predict what 
decisions can be involved in the situation:

Now, read the text on page 36 of your e-book and check your predictions. 
We can see that a group of friends is making plans and decisions about a trip to 
Santa Cruz. Do exercise 1B and tick the topics discussed in the messages. Check 
your answers by the end of theme 3. 
E-book p. 35 ex. 3B 2. ‘s / is going torain 
3. don’t think I’ll / I will be 
4. think he’ll / he will come 
5. ‘s / is going to be 
6. don’t think you’ll / you will like

Box 4 – Answer key 
E-book p. 36 ex. 1B The group plans to stay with Leo’s 
cousin, use a guidebook and rent tents. 
E-book p. 36 ex. 2C 1. meet up; 2. get in touch with; 3. let; know; 
4. remind 
 
THEME 4 – MAKING SPONTANEOUS DECISIONS 
Some decisions involve planning for some time – taking a trip, moving 
houses, for example. Other decisions are spontaneous, we make them during a 
conversation or immediately when thinking about possibilities. 
Go through the messages in exercise 1A from your e-book (p. 36) again. 
Can you find sentences with will or the contraction ‘ll? 
Image 5 – E-book 
 
You probably found these examples: I’ll get in touch with him tonight; I’ll 
check the bookstore for the latest guidebook; OK, and I’ll check places to stay; I’ll 
deal with renting tents, OK?; I’ll have to think about this. ; I’ll add her now. 
One of the ways to refer to the future in English is to use the word will 
followed by a verb. And one of the functions of will is to refer to decisions that 
are made spontaneously, without planning. These decisions are made at the 
moment of speaking. Look at the conversation below for more examples: 
 
 
Curiosity: you have probably seen the initialism A.S.A.P. Did you know it 
means “as soon as possible”? It’s a very common way to finish urgent emails 
and messages.

Box 5 – Conversation 
 
In the conversation above, we can see that two friends start talking about 
eating something and during their conversation, they decide to eat sandwiches, 
something they were not planning to do before. 
Now, it’s your turn. Complete the conversation below with will and one of 
these verbs: get – grab – check – see – go (2x). Use contractions where possible. 
Check your answers at the end of theme 4. 
Box 6 – Complete the Conversation 
 
A: Hey, Dan, what’s up? 
B: Hi, Ann. Not much. I’m thinking about getting something to eat. I 
know, I’ll get a sandwich. It’s still early for dinner. 
A: That sounds like a good idea. I’ll get one too. And then I’ll go straight 
to the gym. No dinner. 
B: Sure. So, let’s? I’ll drive you to the cafeteria. 
A: Deal! I’ll just get my purse. 
A: What’s up, Matt? 
B: Hi, Ricardo. Nothing special…I’m a little bored. I think I (1) ___ for a walk. 
A: Excellent. I (2) ___with you. Then we can talk about that new project. I’m 
a little worried about it. 
B: Great! About that project, I (3) ___ if John wants to join us. He has a lot of 
experience. 
A: That’s a great idea. And I (4) ___ with Kelly too. She’s very efficient. 
B: Good idea. So, let’s go for our walk. I (5) ___ also ___ some coffee on the 
way. 
A: Yeah, I (6) ___ one too.

Box 6 – Complete the conversation. 
 
1. ‘ll go; 2. ‘ll go; 3. ‘ll see; 4.’ll check; 
5.‘ll grab/get; 6. “ll grab/get 
THEME 5 – PLANNING THE FUTURE 
In theme 4, we saw how to use will for spontaneous decisions. These are 
decisions that don’t require planning carefully such as deciding what to eat for 
lunch. However, some other decisions need to be agreed on previously. Imagine 
you are going to travel and want to stay with a relative. You’ll probably check if 
your relative can have you in their house and you’ll agree together on dates and 
other aspects of the accommodation. 
For that type of decision, we can use the Present Continuous. Look at the 
examples: Are we staying with your aunt next week?; We’re staying with my aunt 
next week.; We’re not staying with my aunt next week. You can see the examples 
have the verb be in the present simple form (are; ‘re) and another verb in the 
gerund (staying). Look at the table below to revise the Present Continuous form. 
Table 2 – Present Continuous Form 
Affirmative Subject To be Gerund 
I am / ‘m staying. 
he/she/it is / ‘s staying. 
you/we/they are / ‘re staying. 
Negative Subject To be Gerund 
I am not / ‘m not staying. 
he/she/it is not / ‘s not / 
isn’t 
staying. 
you/we/they are not / ‘re not / 
aren’t 
staying. 
Questions To be Subject Gerund Short Answers 
Am I staying? Yes, I am. / No, 
I’m not. 
Is he/she/it staying? Yes, he/she/it is. / 
No, he/she/it isn’t. 
Are you/we/they staying Yes, you/we/they 
are. / No, 
you/we/they 
aren’t. 
Stretch your Speaking: check your answers for the conversation in Box 6. Then, 
practice the conversation with a colleague. Make small changes in the 
conversation to personalize it. 
 
 
12 
Complete the future plans below with the present continuous form of the 
verbs in parenthesis. Use contractions where possible. 
Box 8 – Complete the future plans 
 
You might be asking “but we use the present continuous to refer to things 
in progress now, in the present, can we use it to refer to the future too?”. And the 
answer is “yes, we can.” But in situations that were agreed, arranged before. 
Contrast these two examples: (1) I’m staying with my aunt now.; (2) I’m staying 
with my aunt next month for the holidays. In (1), it’s clear we are talking about the 
present because of the word “now”. In (2), we are clearly talking about the future 
because of “next month”. 
Decide which sentence in the pair refers to actions in progress now or 
to future plans. See the corrections at the end of theme 5. 
Box 9 – Actions in progress now or future plans? 
 
Now that you are familiarised with the use of “will” and the present 
continuous for future, access your e-book and do exercises 3B (p. 37) and 4.2A 
(p. 132) as assignment. 
Box 10 – Answer Key

2. Are; working / ‘m preparing 
3. aren’t staying / ‘re staying 
4. Is; coming 
1. I ___ (drive) to the beach on Sunday. Ann and Susan ___ (go) with me.

FINAL CONSIDERATIONS 
In this lesson, we saw how to express our opinions by using adjectives. 
We analysed the differences between adjectives ending in -ed and adjectives 
ending in -ing. 
In theme 2, we learned how to make predictions for the future using will 
and be going to – we contrasted the use of both structures and saw that it is best 
to use will to for predictions without evidence in the present and we can use be 
going to when making predictions with evidence in the present. 
In the sequence, we saw useful words and phrases to use when making 
decisions and plans. We learned their meaning, pronunciation and part of speech. 
Still on the topic of future, we studied how to use will for spontaneous decisions 
that don’t require planning beforehand. 
In the last theme of this class, we learned how to use the present 
continuous to refer to future plans that had been agreed on. We also learned how 
to understand if a sentence in the present continuous refers to actions in progress 
now or to future plans based on the context of the sentence. 
We suggest reading Fundamentos de Inglês (p. 90-91 and p. 120-123) for 
a better understanding of the Present Continuous with future use and the modals 
will and be going to, respectively.
