I asked to Chat GPT about modification of “focusing”. Correct? 1. "But to our disappointment, the management has once again suggested an action plan that would have us here on this marketing team with focusing exclusively on Web-based advertising." - "With focusing exclusively on Web-based advertising" modifies "us" or "here on this marketing team." It suggests that the action plan would involve the team being on this marketing team while simultaneously focusing exclusively on Web-based advertising. The emphasis is on the team's situation and the concurrent focus. 2. "But to our disappointment, the management has once again suggested an action plan that would have us here on this marketing team, with focusing exclusively on Web-based advertising." - "With focusing exclusively on Web-based advertising" also modifies "us" or "here on this marketing team." The use of "with" suggests a more associative relationship between being on the marketing team and focusing on Web-based advertising. 3. "But to our disappointment, the management has once again suggested an action plan that would have us here on this marketing team focusing exclusively on Web-based advertising." - "Focusing exclusively on Web-based advertising" directly modifies the action of the team, indicating what they will be doing while being on the marketing team. The emphasis is on the team's activity of focusing on Web-based advertising. 4. "But to our disappointment, the management has once again suggested an action plan that would have us here on this marketing team, focusing exclusively on Web-based advertising." - "Focusing exclusively on Web-based advertising" similarly modifies the action of the team but is separated by a comma. It conveys a similar meaning to the third sentence, emphasizing the team's activity of focusing on Web-based advertising, but with a slight pause. The differences are nuanced, and the choice depends on the specific emphasis and flow you want in your sentence.

“Be going to” or “Will” I searched into the Cambridge webpage and it describes it as below. So a key point is the difference when both of them suggests “predictions” In that case, is it correct to say that ‘will’ generally indicates the speaker’s prediction or certainty about the future, often without specific evidence, while ‘be going to’ suggests the speaker has evidence or observes present conditions supporting the prediction? 1) BE GOING TO a) Intention b) Predictions -We use be going to to predict something that we think is certain to happen or which we have evidence for now: ・It’s going to snow again soon. (The speaker can probably see dark snow clouds.) ・Look out! He’s going to break that glass. c) Commands 2) WILL a) Predictions We use will and shall to make predictions and to state facts about the future: ・There will be strong winds tomorrow in the south of the country. ・The year 2025 will be the four-hundredth anniversary of the founding of the university. ・We shall need an extra bedroom when the new baby arrives. b) Decisions and Offers
