每课一句：新概念英语第1册第37课
【往期回顾】
接下来，我们就来看看第37课的“每课一句”。
一、课文原文
Lesson 37 Making a bookcase
You’re working hard, George.
What are you doing?
I’m making a bookcase.
Give me that hammer please, Dan.
Which hammer?
This one?
No, not that one.
The big one.
Here you are.
Thanks, Dan.
What are you going to do now, George?
I’m going to paint it.
What colour are you going to paint it?
I’m going to paint it pink.
Pink!
This bookcase isn’t for me.
It’s for my daughter, Susan.
Pink’s her favorite colour.

二、每课一句
-What are you going to do now, George? - I'm going to paint it.
本课重点学习的是be going to do的用法。
首先要注意的是，be going to do并不是将来时，而是用来表将来的进行时，只是本课学习的是现在进行时的用法，即：am / is / are going to do。
be going to do表示“主观打算或意图”，而且往往是在短时间内就会去做的事情。如：
It is too hot today. I am going to have a swim in the river this afternoon.
其中，be为助动词，所以在进行语法变形时，只要在be后面加上not就可以构成否定句，变疑问句时只要把be提前。如：
I am not going to have a swim in the river this afternoon.
Are you goingto have a swim in the river this afternoon?
When are you going to have a swim in the river?
需要注意be going to后接动词的时候采用的是动词原形。
三、更多拓展
- What colour are you going to paint it? - I'm going to paint it pink.
注意paint的用法为：
paint + sth. + colour
表示：
把某物漆成某颜色
如：
He is going to paint the desk green.
They are going to paint the wall white.
