Problems
Choosing how to refer to the future can be difficult, as sometimes there is more than one choice.
• going to or present continuous?
It is possible to use going to in places where present continuous is more usual, when a time is mentioned.
I’m having a party on Friday.
I’m going to have a party on Friday.
However, we cannot use present continuous in places where going to is usual without changing the meaning, when no time is mentioned.
Jean is going to learn to drive.
This is a plan, with no time mentioned.
Jean is learning to drive.
As no time is mentioned or implied, this describes a present action.
• will or going to?
Impersonal predictions
Here the choice is sometimes a matter of being formal or informal.
I think it’s going to rain tomorrow.
This would be possible in everyday conversation.
Tomorrow it will rain in Northern England.
This may be more common in a weather forecast, where the speaker is being more formal.
Plans
If we use will instead of going to, the meaning changes.
I’m going to do lots of work this evening. - This is a plan or intention.
I’ll do lots of work this evening. - This sounds like a promise.
• be
We usually use will or going to with be.
I’ll be back on Friday.
I’m going to be back on Friday.
