1. -You are going to do anything next weekend?
- Yes, my nephews are coming and I am going to show them round London.
- You are taking them to the theatre? (Have you booked seats?)
- No, they’re too young for that. I am going to take them to the zoo.
2. - We are starting early tomorrow. We are going to Ben Nevis.
- You are going to climb Ben Nevis?
- Not me. Tom is climbing it. I am going to sit at the bottom and do some sketching.
Насколько я знаю, going to употребляется при личном намерении что-то сделать, а Present Continuous, когда это намерение запланировано (договорённость с кем-либо или покупка билетов). Насчёт последнего предложения у меня сомнения, так что подумай.
Arseniy: Oh, I love our new house! What a big bedroom!
Maks: It's really great! Now, let's put the furniture in place. Can you give me a hand, Ewil?
Ewil: Sure, Maks. Let's start.
Marks: Where do you want the armchair, Arseniy?
Arseniy: Put it in front of the window.
Maks: All right... What about this TV?
Ewil: Quick, Maks, it's really heavy!
Arseniy: Can you put it next to the mirror?
Ewil: Agh! Maks, watch out! It is OK, right here?
Arseniy: No, not there! It looks better on the other side, between the mirror and the poster. That's great!
Maks: Right... Where shall we put this nightstand?
Arseniy: Oh, put it by the bed, opposite to the armchair. Be careful! It's very expensive!
Ewil: Phew... Arseniy, calm down! We're doing our best, OK?
Arseniy: OK, I'm sorry. Hmm... What else?.. What about the cabinet? Let's place it between the armchair and the TV.
Maks: Err... What about the chandelier, Arseniy?
Arseniy: Oh dear! I want that to go up the ceiling!
