問：小女英文測驗有以下問題：What are you going to do on Sunday ?（你星期天會做什麼？）假如要說「我星期天會上教堂」，以下哪個答案正確？假如都正確，有什麼分別？──I
am going to church / going to go to church on Sunday。
答：Be
doing something和be going to do something都可以用來說「準備做某事」，例如「他們要結婚了」可以譯做They are getting married或They are going to get married。兩個說法往往通用，只是be
going to do something所說的計劃，似乎沒有be doing something那麼實實在在安排妥當。
此外，說準備去（go）或來（come）某個地方，多用be going to / coming
to a certain place的說法，少說be going to go / to come to a
certain place。特別是be going to go，重複了go字，不少人都盡可能避免，英國Prentice Hall出版社出版的Mastering
English Usage就告訴讀者：Avoid the combination "going to
go", which is considered to be bad style（Going to
go這詞語，多視為文體之病，宜避免使用）。所以，讀者示下的兩個答案文法雖然都正確，但I am going to
church on Sunday這一句無疑較好。
問：某人的成功故事英文是someone's success story還是someone's successful
story？
答：答案是someone's
success story，例如：His life is a success story（他的一生，就是個成功的故事）。A successful story應是寫得動人的故事。
