DEfinition
Different verb forms are used to express plans for
the future, depending on the type of plan, whether
it's a spontaneous plan, pre-decided plan, or an
arrangement.
will
We use will to talk about spontaneous plans
decided at the moment of speaking. Overall, will is
a versatile and important verb in the English
language when talking about the future.
Example
I will go to the store tomorrow to buy some groceries.
I think it will rain later today.
I will do my best to finish this project on time.
Going to
We used going to to talk about plans decided before
the moment of speaking. that going to is not used to
talk about future events that are already scheduled
or arranged.
Example
I am going to visit my grandparents next week
She is going to start her new job in two days
They're going to meet us at the restaurant at 7pm.
Present continuous
We usually use the present continuous when
the plan is an arrangement – already
confirmed with at least one other person and
we know the time and place.
Example
He is starting his new job on Monday.
I'm meeting Vita at 9 o'clock on Sunday.
We are having a graduation party next week .
Thank
You
