Modal “would like to”

“would like to” is a polite way to say “I want” in English

We use would like to say politely what we want, especially when making offers and requests.
For example:
“ I would like to be a teacher”
“I would like to buy a ticket please” is polite and friendly
“I want to buy a ticket” is less polite because “I want” sound somewhat direct and curt.

Subject + would like to

for example “I would like to
be a teacher.”

Modal “be going to”

1. Intentions
We use “be going to” to talk about future plans and intentions. Usually, the decision about
the future plans has already been made.
For example:
- She’s going to be a professional teacher when she grows up.
 - I’m going to watch “venom” movie next week.

2. Predictions
We use “be going to” to predict something that we think is certain to happen or which we
have evidence for now.
For example:
- It’s going to rain again soon. (The speaker can probably see dark snow clouds.)
- Look out! He’s going to break that glass.
-
The form of “be going to”

We use: be (is, am, are) going to + verb1

For example:
