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.

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.

She is going to work out tonight.

Sarah is going to appear on a TV program.

I’m going to be on TV!

 

will- decide right now

I’ll help you!

I will do it.

I will mop the floor.

 

**

If you get them confused, everybody will still know what you mean.

 

I am going to visit Korea in the summer. SOUNDS MORE AUTHENTIC

I will visit Korea in the summer. SOUNDS OK, but not as authentic
