What’s the difference between ‘will’ and ‘be going to’?

 

If what you learned in your grammar class makes sense to you, then stick with that.

The way I teach it- Easiest way to see the difference. Wiil work 90% of the time.

 

be going to – already planned it

will- decide right now

 

Examples:

I am going to study tonight. already have a plan, already planned it, in your schedule

I am going to cook dinner at 7pm for my family. already in your plan for the day

I am going to walk/go to the coffee shop kiosk outside our classroom to buy a coffee.

You are going to save money over the next few months.

Sarah is going to appear on a TV program.

I’m going to be on TV!

I am going to finish EF5.

 

AUTHENTIC ENGLISH Often English speakers will use present progressive to suggest the future.

We are going to see ‘F1’ tomorrow. SIMPLE FUTURE

We are seeing ‘F1’ tomorrow. PRESENT PROGRESSIVE- suggests the future

 

 

I will visit Paris next year. – meaning is clear

I am going to visit Paris next year. - sounds more authentic

You can choose. I am teaching the simplest way that I can how to differentiate ‘will’ and ‘be going to’.

 

will- decide right now
