WILL AND GOING TO

Simple Future has two different forms in English: "will" and "be going to." Although the two forms can sometimes be used interchangeably, they often express two very different meanings. These different meanings might seem too abstract at first, but with time and practice, the differences will become clear. Both "will" and "be going to" refer to a specific time in the future.

1º Will

We Use Will: to Express a Voluntary Action, To Make a Promisse and to Express a Prediction.

Estructure :
[will + verb]

Examples:

I will send you the information when I get it. --> Voluntary Action
I promise I will not tell him about the surprise party --> Promisse
John Smith will be the next President. --> Prediction



2º Going To

We Use Going To: Express a Plan and Express a Prediction

Estructure:
[am/is/are + going to + verb]

Examples:

He is going to spend his vacation in Hawaii. --> Express a Plan
John Smith is going to be the next President. -->
Express a Prediction
