Use
Prediction (will and going to)
Will
The most common use of will is as an auxiliary verb to show
future time.
It expresses a future fact or prediction. It is called the pure
future, or the Future Simple.
We’ll be away for two weeks.

Those flowers won’t grow under the tree. It’s too dark.
Our love will last forever.
You’ll be sick if you eat all those sweets!
Will for a prediction can be based more on an opinion than a
fact.
I think Laura will do very well in her exams. She works hard.
I am convinced that inflation will fall to 3 per cent next year.

Going to
Going to can also express a prediction, especially when it
is based on a present fact. There is evidence now that
Something is certain to happen.
She’s going to have a baby. (We can see she’s pregnant)
Liverpool are going to win the match. It's four nil, and
there’s only five minutes left)
It isn’t going to rain today. Look at that lovely blue sky)
Sometimes there is no difference between will and going to.

This government
will ruin
is going to ruin
the country with its
Stupid economic policies
Decisions and intentions (will and going to)
Will is also used as a modal auxiliary verb to express a decision,
Intention or offer made at the moment of speaking.We saw this
use in Unit 4.(See page 148)
I’ll have the steak,please.
I’ll see you tomorrow.Bye!
Give me a ring some time. we’ll go out for a drink.

‘Jeff,there’s someone at the door!’ ‘Ok,I’ll get it’
Remember that you can’t use the present tense for this use
NOT * I have the steak. * I see you tomorrow.
Going to is used to express a future plan,decision or intention,
made before the moment of speaking.
When I grow up, I’m gong to be a doctor.
Jane and Peter are going to get married after they’re graduated
We’re going to pait this room blue

Arrangements (Present Continuous)
The Present Continuous can be used to express a future
Arrangement between people.It usually refers to the near
Future.
We’re going out with Jeremy tonight.
I’m having my hair cut tomorrow.
What are we having for lunch?
Think of the things you might put in your diary to remind
you of what you are doing over the next few days and
weeks.These are the kinds of events that are often expressed
by the Present Continuous for the future.The verbs express
some kind of activity or movement.
I’m meeting Peter tonight.
The Taylors are coming for dinner.
I’m seeing the doctor in the morning.
We’re going to a party on Saturday night.
We’re catching the 10.00 train.
Remember,that you can’t use the present tense for this use.
NOT *I meet Peter tonight.
*I see the doctor in the morning.
*What do you do this evening?

Sometimes there is no difference between an agreed
Arrangement (Present Contiuous) and an intention
(going to)
married in the spring.
We’re going to get
We’re getting

COMMON MISTAKES
A * What do you do tonight?
B * I watch TV.
A * Have you decided yet?
B * Yes.We’ll go to Spain.
A *The phone’s ringing.
B *OK. I answer it.
A * When you go home?
B * I’m go home soon.
Try to stress the following:
•
Use will for future facts,and intentions or offers made at
the moment of speaking.
•
Use going to for intentions made before speaking.
•
Use the Presen Continuous for arrangements between
People.
Be vigilant in the correction of mistakes. Try asking the
class before a weekend or a holiday what they are planning
to do,and monitor their use future forms.
