Future Forms: Frequently Asked Questions
When do we use will for the future?
Use will for predictions without evidence (I think it will rain), spontaneous decisions made at the moment of speaking (I'll help you carry that), and promises or offers.
When do we use be going to?
Use be going to for plans and intentions already decided (We are going to move to London) and predictions based on present evidence (Look at those clouds — it's going to rain).
When do we use the present continuous for the future?
Use the present continuous for fixed personal arrangements, usually with a time or place: I'm meeting Sara at 7 p.m. on Friday.
