Learning Objective

I can use "will," "going to," and present continuous to express future plans.

  • 1

    We use will when we decide something at the moment of speaking, such as saying 'I'll bring some drinks' when invited to a football game.

  • 2

    We use 'be going to' when there is intention to do something, and we use the present continuous when the plan is in your diary with a specific date and time.

  • 3

    When making predictions about the future, use 'going to' when the prediction is based on obvious facts or evidence, and use will when there is no evidence.
