The Comparison of Will and Going To

FUTURE SIMPLE (WILL)

GOING TO

IT IS USED TO MAKE A DECISION AT THE MOMENT OF SPEAKING. VERY OFTEN IT IS USED TO OFFER SOMETHING TO SOMEBODY:

 

I WILL OPEN THE WINDOW.

I WILL GET IT.

 

IT IS USED TO TALK ABOUT THE FUTURE FACTS:

 

SHE WILL BE 38 NEXT MONTH.

 

IT IS USED TO SAY WHAT YOU THINK OR HOPE WILL HAPPEN:

 

I THINK I WILL PASS THE EXAM.

 

THEY HOPE EVERYTHING WILL BE OK.

 

IN MY OPINION SHE WILL WIN THE FIGHT.

IT IS USED TO TALK ABOUT THE PLANS YOU HAVE ALREADY MADE FOR THE FUTURE:

 

I AM GOING TO MEET ANNA TOMORROW.

SHE IS GOING TO WATCH A MOVIE.

 

IT IS USED TO MAKE LOGICAL PREDICTIONS ABOUT THE FUTURE BASED ON WHAT YOU ALREADY KNOW OR YOU CAN SEE:

 

THERE ARE SO MANY DARK CLOUDS IN THE SKY. IT'S GOING TO RAIN.

 

HE IS SO PALE. HE IS GOING TO FAINT
