1.be going to

今天我們來看看be going to和will的區別

a.be going to 表示近期、眼下就要發生的事情，will 表示的將來時間則較遠一些，如：

He is going to write a letter tonight.

He will write a book one day.

b.be going to 表示根據主觀判斷將來肯定發生的事情，will表示客觀上將來勢必發生的事情。

He is seriously ill. He is going to die.

He will be twenty years old.

c.be going to 含有“計劃，準備”的意思，而 will 則沒有這個意思，如：

She is going to lend us her book.

He will be here in half an hour.

d.在有條件從句的主句中，一般不用 be going to, 而多用will, 如：

If any beasts comes at you, I'll stay with you and help you.

2.a nice teapot

a nice teapot表示一個好看的茶壺，teapot：茶壺

eg：He borrowed your teapot.

他借了你的茶壺。
