   Are your friends going to be with you at the airport when your uncle arrives in Brazil?

   Tim.  Did I use the preposition in a correct away?

   Are you going to be at the party.
   como posso responder? Yes, I’m going or Yes I am.

   Tenho duvidas para falar do futuro com going to. Se eu estou indo agora viajar, como deve falar? I’m going to travel to Europe (exp)
   E se eu vou viajar em um tempo inderteminado o futuro. I’m going to travel to Europe, também? Como diferenciar as duas situações. Eu achava que deveria ser com o modal Will.

     Olá, Vera! Obrigado pelo interesse.

     A resposta curta é: Yes, I am.

     Existem várias maneiras de falar sobre o futuro. Se você está 100% certo de um plano futuro, já está com a passagem na mão, está tudo combinado, etc. (como no seu exemplo que você está saindo agora), é comum usar o Present Continuous:

     I am traveling to Europe.

     O will também é usado para o futuro, mas tem uma nuance diferente. Ouça o episódio 103 (Do Básico) onde falamos um pouco sobre “will” vs “going to”.

   Hello, Tim and Tammy. I hope you’re great!

   My question for you is:

   ‘Are your friends going to get together with you to eat a delicious barbecue and drink an ice-cold beer?’

   Thanks for the opportunity to practice my English a bit more!

   Best wishes
