FAQ

What is the difference between 'will' and 'going to' in English?

Unit 2 practises both forms. 'Going to' is used for plans or predictions based on present evidence, as in 'I am going to study.' 'Will' is used for decisions made at the moment of speaking and for predictions without present evidence.

How are relative pronouns used in English?

Unit 3 explains that 'who' refers to people, 'which' to things, 'whose' to possession, 'where' to places and 'when' to times. For example: 'The actress, whose last performance won her an Oscar, was asked to act in the new film.'
