VII. Thì tương lai gần - Near Future Tense3
a. Cấu trúc
• I + am + going + to-V
• You/We/They + are + going + to-V
• I + amn’t (am not) + going + to-V
• You/We/They + aren’t (are not) + going
+ to-V

3. • b. Cách dùng
• - Dùng để diễn tả một dự định, kế hoạch trong tương lai.
• Eg: + He is going to get married this year.
• (Anh ta dự định sẽ kết hôn trong năm nay.)
• + We are going to take a trip to HCM city this weekend.
• (Chúng tôi dự định sẽ làm một chuyến tới thành phố HCM vào cuối tuần này.)

• Eg: + Look at those dark clouds! It is going to rain.
• (Hãy nhìn những đám mây kia kìa! Trời sắp mưa đấy.)
• + Are you going to cook dinner? I have seen a lot of vegetables on the table.
• (Bạn chuẩn bị nấu bữa tối à? Tớ vừa trông thấy rất nhiều rau củ quả ở trên bàn.)

4. • c. Trạng từ
• Dấu hiệu nhận biết thì tương lai gần bao gồm các trạng từ chỉ thời gian trong tương
lai giống như dấu hiệu nhận biết thì tương lai đơn, nhưng nó có thêm những căn cứ
hay những dẫn chứng cụ thể.
• - in + thời gian: trong … nữa (in 2 minutes: trong 2 phút nữa)
• - tomorrow: ngày mai
• - Next day: ngày hôm tới
• - Next week/ next month/ next year: Tuần tới/ tháng tới/ năm tới
• Eg: + Tomorrow I am going to visit my parents in New York. I have just bought
the ticket.
• (Ngày mai tôi sẽ đi thăm bố mẹ tôi ở New York. Tôi vừa mới mua vé rồi.)
• Ta thấy “Ngày mai” là thời gian trong tương lai. “Tôi vừa mới mua vé” là dẫn chứng
cụ thể cho việc sẽ “đi thăm bố mẹ ở New York”.

5. • 2. Câu bị động nâng cao
• Để tránh dùng các danh từ hay đại từ nhân xưng như they hoặc people, ta dùng thể bị động với những
động từ tường thuật (reporting verbs): say, believe, understand, know.
• Ex: People say that this girl lives in Australia.
• —> This girl is said to live in Australia. (Người ta nói rằng cô gái này sống ở úc.)
• Ta có thể tóm tắt như sau:
• People/ They + say/ believe... + that + S + V + ...
• Cách 1: It + be + said/ believed... + that + S + V +...
• Cách 2: S+ be+ said/ believed... + to-infinitive
• To + have + Ved/ V3
• Note:
• Ta dùng to have + Ved/ V3 khi động từ tường thuật và động từ trong mệnh đề chính chênh lệch về thì.
• Ex: People say that he was given a scholarship.
• —> He is said to have been given a scholarship.

6. • IX. Danh động từ và Động từ nguyên thể - Gerund & To-infinitive
• Gerund (Danh động từ) là động từ V-ing được dùng như một danh từ. Danh động từ
thường đứng ở các vị trí như sau:
• – Sau các động từ: love, like, enjoy, dislike, hate, prefer, can’t stand, can’t help, avoid,
continue,…
• E.g. She likes reading books. (Cô ấy thích đọc sách.)
• – Ngay sau giới từ: in, on, by, after, of, with, at,…
• E.g. I am tired of arguing. (Tôi mệt mỏi vì cãi nhau lắm rồi.)
• – Đầu câu làm chủ ngữ:
• E.g. Eating vegetables is good for your health. (Ăn rau rất tốt cho sức khoẻ.)
• Một số động từ to-V: want, would like, decide, offer, promise,…
• E.g. He promised to love me forever.
• Tuy nhiên có một vài động từ có thể theo sau bởi danh động từ hoặc to-V.

7. • 2. Sử dụng một trạng từ nối
• - Các mệnh đề độc lập của một câu ghép cũng có thể được kết nối bằng một các trạng từ như:
Furthermore, However, Otherwise,…
• - Cần lưu ý việc đánh dấu câu khi sử dụng trạng từ nối.
• + Những trạng từ mang nghĩa tương tự “and”: Furthermore; besides; in addition to; also; moreover;
• Ví dụ: My big brother is good at math; moreover, he is excellent at English. (Anh cả tôi giỏi toán,
ngoài ra, anh còn rất giỏi tiếng Anh.)
• + Những trạng từ mang nghĩa tương tự “but, yet”: However; nevertheless, although; even though; in
spite of; despite; ...
• Ví dụ: Mary is so fat; however, she keeps eating junk food. (Mary rất mập; tuy nhiên, cô ấy vẫn liên
tục ăn đồ ăn nhanh.)
• + Những trạng từ mang nghĩa tương tự “or”: Otherwise
• Ví dụ: I should be in a hurry; otherwise, you will be late. (Bạn nên nhanh chân lên, nếu không bạn sẽ
trễ học.)

• We know that every year less than 100 people are attacked by sharks and about 5 to 10 of these
people die. But, let's look at the other side of the story - How many sharks do people kill? Well,
I think you already know this: People kill many more sharks. Every year, people hunt and kill
thousands of sharks. One reason people kill sharks is for sport; they hunt them just for fun.
Some people started to have contests to see who kill the most sharks or the biggest sharks.
Another reason that people kill sharks is for food. In some countries, such as the United States
and Great Britain, shark meat is a popular food. In other countries, such as China, people use
shark fins to make soup. Because so many people like to eat shark, fishing boats catch a lot of
sharks to sell for food.
• So, for both of these reasons, people are killing many sharks. Some biologists are getting worried
that the number of sharks is getting too small. That's why many biologists think we should stop
killing so many sharks, and instead try to protect them - or else some day they may all be gone.
Some countries have already passed some laws to help protect sharks. The United States, for
example, has passed laws that limit the number of sharks that people can kill for food or for
sport. So even though some people like to hunt sharks, we do need to protect them.

• People have been hunting whales for at least a thousand years, and there were no real problems until 20th
century. What happened was that fishing technology became much more efficient and the ships were much
faster, so more and more whales were caught. In the 1960s the main whaling countries were killing more than
