When to use will and going to?
When to Use Will
The first thing you need to know is that will is an auxiliary, also known as a modal verb. This means that we use it to create a form of the verb, in this case, the future.
Will will always be accompanied by a verb in its base form to form the future. Otherwise, will becomes a noun and means will.
There is nothing more immediate. You are making a decision and almost at the same time you are expressing it to the person with whom you are speaking. It is then clear that the myth of expressing a distant future is nothing more than that, a myth.
will to express a decision made at the moment
I will call him right nowI’ll help you with those bagsI won’t let you pass
EXAMPLES
In this case, we can talk about a greater distance in time, but it does not necessarily have to be something very distant. In this case, they are general predictions about something that we believe will happen at some point in the future. In general, these predictions do not have physical evidence to support them.
Use will to make predictions
It will rain
He will win the race tomorrow
Don’t worry, you won’t have any troubles during your trip
EXAMPLES
When you use the going to to form the future you must always keep in mind that we must necessarily use the verb "be" in its simple present form and depending on the subject you are using. In addition, the main verb of the sentence must follow going to in its base form.
When to Use Going to
How many times have you thought about what you will do the next day, or the weekend, or why not when you've won the lottery? I'm sure a lot, right? Every time we think about the future in some way or another, by human nature or whatever you want to call it, we end up making plans or expressing what our intentions are.
For these cases use going to and you will be expressing yourself correctly in English
Use going to to express your future plans or intentionsto
I am going to make pizza for dinner
I’m going to travel next week
I’m not going to waste my money if I win the lottery
EXAMPLES
