## ✔ SECTION 1: Look at the pictures and complete these sentences about Sarah

You need to match each picture with the correct verb phrase using “She is going to...”

Let’s go row by row, left to right, top to bottom:

Row 1:

1. Picture: Girl sitting at desk with books → to study
➤ She is going to study.

2. Picture: Girl reading a book → to read
➤ She is going to read.

3. Picture: Girl listening to music with headphones → to listen
➤ She is going to listen.

Row 2:

4. Picture: Girl having breakfast (cereal bowl) → to have
➤ She is going to have breakfast. *(Note: “have” alone is incomplete — context implies “have breakfast/lunch/dinner”. Since it’s morning, “breakfast” fits best.)*

5. Picture: Girl ironing clothes → to iron
➤ She is going to iron her clothes. *(“iron” alone is grammatically acceptable, but adding “her clothes” makes it natural.)*

6. Picture: Girl walking out the door → to go
➤ She is going to go out. *(“go” alone is vague — “go out” or “go to school” fits the image.)*

Row 3:

7. Picture: Girl meeting friends on street → to meet
➤ She is going to meet her friends.

8. Picture: Girl painting a canvas → to paint
➤ She is going to paint a picture.

9. Picture: Girl riding a bike → to ride
➤ She is going to ride her bike.

Row 4:

10. Picture: Girl watching TV → to watch
➤ She is going to watch TV.

11. Picture: Girl swimming in pool → to swim
➤ She is going to swim.

12. Picture: Girl working at computer → to work
➤ She is going to work on her computer.

Row 5:

13. Picture: Girl staying home with laptop → to stay
➤ She is going to stay at home.

14. Picture: Girl getting into bed → to go to bed
➤ She is going to go to bed.

> 💡 *Note: While some answers like “study”, “read”, “swim” are single verbs, adding context (e.g., “study math”, “read a book”) makes them more natural. But since the prompt says “(to study)” etc., using just the base verb is acceptable unless specified otherwise.*

## ✔ SECTION 2: Choose the correct answer and form sentences

Question 1:

My friend Melissa and I ___ a party.
a. am going to
b. are going to go to
c. go to

✔️ Correct answer: b. are going to go to
→ Subject = “My friend Melissa and I” = plural → use “are”
→ “are going to go to a party” = correct future plan structure.

✔ Sentence: My friend Melissa and I are going to go to a party.

---

Question 2:

What ___ this weekend?
a. you are going to do
b. are you going to do
c. you gonna do

✔️ Correct answer: b. are you going to do
→ This is a question → invert subject and auxiliary verb: “are you...”
→ “you gonna do” is informal/incorrect in formal writing.

✔ Sentence: What are you going to do this weekend?

---

Question 3:

What time ___ start?
a. is it going to
b. it’s going to
c. it

✔️ Correct answer: a. is it going to
→ Question form: “What time is it going to start?”
→ “it’s going to” is contraction of “it is going to” — not a question form.

✔ Sentence: What time is it going to start?

---

Question 4:

The party is ___ to be at Ruth’s house.
a. go
b. going
c. gonna

✔️ Correct answer: b. going
→ Structure: “is going to be” — future plan.
→ “gonna” is informal; “go” is wrong tense.

✔ Sentence: The party is going to be at Ruth’s house.

---

Question 5:

We ___ listen to music and dance.
a. are going to
b. are going to listen to
c. listen to

✔️ Correct answer: a. are going to
→ Subject “We” → plural → “are going to”
→ The verb phrase “listen to music and dance” follows directly.

✔ Sentence: We are going to listen to music and dance.

*(Note: Option b repeats “listen to”, which would make it redundant: “We are going to listen to listen to music…” — incorrect.)*

---

Question 6:

At 10 P.M. ___ invite?
a. Who are you going to
b. What you’re going to
c. When you going to

✔️ Correct answer: a. Who are you going to
→ Question asking about person → “Who”
→ Proper question structure: “Who are you going to invite?”

✔ Sentence: At 10 P.M., who are you going to invite?

*(Note: The sentence is slightly awkward without context, but grammatically, “Who are you going to invite?” is correct.)*
