EASY TRAVEL ENGLISH!!

Hi everybody!

May is almost here! ‘Tis the season to be jolly and I hope you all have some holly-jolly plans for the holidays. Here is how native speakers talk about their plans:

A: Do you have any plans for the holidays?

B: Yes, I’m going to Phuket. (←動詞が “go” だったらネイティブはよく現在進行形を使います。｀現在´進行形なのに未来の意味なんですよ。)

A: Oh, sounds nice! How long are you gonna stay? (←これは｀How long are you going to stay?´の省略です。もちろん How long are you going to stay? って聞いても全然大丈夫ですけどネイティブスピーカーはこの言い回しをよく使うので慣れた方がいいと思います。)

B: I’m gonna be there for 10 days.

A: Sounds great!

▼Here are some more expressions to practice…

・What are you gonna do in Phuket? (プーケットで何するの？)

・I`m gonna relax on the beach. (“Relax” は動詞です。)

・I`m gonna go shopping.

・I`m gonna eat a lot of hot and tasty Thai food.

あと、いつも主語を取り替えて色々な主語 + be動詞の省略も練習した方が良いです・・・

Is your wife going, too? (←また未来の意味の現在進行形です。)

Yeah, she`s gonna go. (現在進行形の “Yeah, she`s going” も普通です。ネイティブは両方とも使います。)

・What`s she gonna do there?

・She`s gonna get a massage.

・She`s gonna eat a lot of tropical fruit.

Are you gonna play any sports?

・Yeah, we`re gonna play golf.

Well, that`s all for today. 

 Do you have any plans for vacation?
