This time we look at the differences between present continuous and going to. We do an activity to help us learn the rules, and then practise by listening to a conversation between a married couple: Marco and Flavia. After that we have 6 Minute Grammar!
'I can't talk now...'

Now, let's meet another couple, Marco and Flavia. They've just got married. Flavia's mother calls her in their new home, but Marco answers.
But some of the conversation is missing... Can you complete it using your knowledge of the present continuous and 'going to'?
