GOING TO:

* We use going to to talk about


actions in the future. Although, it has
different uses.

1-We can use going to to talk about


action that we have already decided.
Ex: Im going to travel to Moscow!
Ive already bought the tickets.
2-We can also use going to to talk
about predictions, I mean, when
we say that sth is going to
happen in the future, in other
words, when the situation is
clear:

Check the following example


The cat is going to fall in the
water.
3- Its also possible to use going
to with the verb to be in the past
to express situations that were
interrupted, I mean, that werent
finished.

Check the following example


She was going to get
married but her fianc broke
WILL :
1-Its possible to use will when
we want to talk about actions in
the future that were not arranged
yet.

Ex: I will pass in a public contest.


(but this person is not sure if she
will pass or not)
2- Its also possible to use will
when the action is decided at the
moment of speaking.

* Take a look at the following


example
Green: Ouch!
Oouuuch!!!!!!!

Orange: Oh Gosh! I will call


the ambulance.
3- We can also use will to
express predictions, but this case
is different from going to.

* Take a look at the next example


Situation: Karen (their friend) is doing an
exam next week They are talking about it.

Do you Yes,
think Karen shell
will pass pass
the exam ? easily.
Shes
very
smart!

She will pass doesnt mean that Karen has decided


to pass, the blond girl is just saying what she thinks will
happen, in other words, shes perdicting the future.
5- We often use will with:
a) Probably :
Ill probably be late for dinner.
b) I expect:
I expect hell like the surprise.
c) Im sure In spoken
Im sure hell fail. English the
negative of
d) I (dont)think will is wont
