	Mister Micawber  +  124949 Mon, 08 Aug 05 02:30 PM Hello, Friends-- what a pleasant screen name to choose!  Welcome to English Forums. Use I am going to the teacher's room, if your action is immanent; use I go to the teacher's room if it is a repetitive event: I'm going to the teacher's room as soon as I finish this class. I go to the teacher's room every day before my first class. Does this help, Ali?
