will / am going to – What I taught today is not in any grammar book. This is just how I think about ‘will’ and ‘am going to’.

If you check a grammar, you may get more complicated explanations. This is my simple explanation.

 

IDIOM We’ll see.  - I don’t know. I haven’t made a decision.

 

Teach next week – Modals/modal auxiliaries

 

Let’s take out some paper and try some sentences with simple future.

‘will’   ‘am going to’
