35.5 be going to get to (future prediction)

35.5.1 Ali and Anna’s relatives are coming to visit them, but the weather has been very bad

and the road to their house is blocked by snow. Ali and Anna are worried that their

relatives won’t be able to come to their house.

Ali: Oh my goodness! Have you seen this snow? The main road must be

completely blocked.

Anna: How are my parents going to get here? They’re planning to get a

rental car from the airport! My dad’s not used to driving in snow. He might

have an accident.

Ali:  You’re  right.  I  think  we  need  to  pick  them  up  from  the  airport

ourselves.  Hopefully  they’ll  clear  the  main  road  tomorrow  and  we’ll  be

able to drive. If the main road is still blocked, I think your parents will just

have to stay at an airport hotel for the night.
