You know, John, I was thinking about how my plans connect with grammar.

How so?
为什么这么说呢?
In English, we use a few common structures to talk about plans--events and activities that are in the future.
在英语中,我们用一些常见的结构来谈论计划——在未来发生的事件和活动。
Right! Like verb forms--will and be going to.
没错!比如动词形式——will和be going to。
That's right! Notice I said, "We are going to visit my family in Arizona."
没错!注意,我说,“我们要去亚利桑那州看望我的家人。”
I could have also said, "We will visit my family in Arizona."
我也可以说,“我们要去亚利桑那州看望我的家人。”
You also used the structure make + a noun phrase.
你还使用了“make+名词短语”结构。
As in "We made plans to rent motorcycles..."
比如“我们计划租摩托车……”

Don't worry, John, I won't get caught!
别担心,约翰,我不会被抓的!
There's another area in grammar we should talk about--phrasal verbs.
语法中还有一个我们应该讨论的领域——动词短语。
That's right! Phrasal verbs play an important part in discussing future plans and activities.
没错!动词短语在讨论未来的计划和活动时起着重要的作用。
Pick up, meet up, check in, check out, call off...
接电话,见面,入住,退房,取消……
That's right! So, we've explored these key areas for talking about future plans--will and be going to, make + a noun phrase, and phrasal verbs.
没错!所以,我们已经探索了谈论未来计划的这些关键领域——will和be going to和“make+名词短语”以及动词短语。
How about your next trip, John?
