 DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE BE GOING TO AND THE WILL

BE GOING TO
The verb "to be going to" is equivalent to "to go and do something". Its structure in the
sentence is:
The verb to be conjugated is "to be" and it has to agree in time and person with the
subject.
To be + going + to + Verb (in infinitive)
o She is going to do the shopping

Uses of "to be going to"

1. The future is used with "be going to" to express future actions already planned
(but not part of an established program).
o I am going to buy a new house.
o The movie will start at 10 o'clock.
2. Con "be going to" se indica sobre todo la intención de hacer algo en un futuro
cercano o el convencimiento de que algo va a pasar.
o It's going to be a great day.

Training of "to be going to

The translation into Spanish would be: "Yo voy a trabajar", "tú vas a trabajar", "él va a
trabajar "...
Negative Subject + present of "to be" + not + going + to verb in infinitive + ...
Interrogative Present of "to be" + subject + going to + verb in infinitive + .... ?
"WILL" WITH FUTURE VALUE
Will' is a modal and auxiliary verb. This means that, on the one hand, it is not
conjugated for different people and, on the other hand, it accompanies other verbs
considered as main verbs in Sentence: Cannot be used without the main verb.
o I will go to the concert
o She will read the book

Modal verbs are auxiliary verbs that help us to convey the meaning of prayers.
Without modal verbs we could not make sentences indicating probability or future
value. Modal verbs are also called auxiliary or simply modal verbs. They are counted up
to ten English modal verbs:
 CAN could
MAY might
SHALL should
WILL Would
MUST ought to

The verbal form "will" is used mainly in two circumstances:

o With future value to make predictions and promises
o With conditional value to express predictions based on certain conditions

USES
WILL with future value is used:
To make predictions and promises about the future. We say what we believe what will
happen.
o It will be cloudy in the north next week (prediction).
o I'll pay you next month (promise).

To express quick decisions and make offers

o The phone is ringing. I'll answer it.

The future simple is often used with these expressions:

o I am sure (estoy seguro de que).
o I think (creo que), I expect (espero que).
o I suppose (supongo que).

Examples:
o 'll probably get there by car.
o I suppose Thomas will pass his exam.
o Perhaps people in the future will be happier.
o I am sure you will like this book, it is very good.

USE
1) PREDICTIONS

We use WILL for predictions weather, information journalistic about future events or
predictions of other types (a often with expressions like probably, I'm sure, etc.); look where it
is probably placed:
  Tomorrow it will rain in the north.
 The Prime Minister will hold a press
 conference tomorrow.
 He will probably win.
 She probably won't go.

We use GOING TO to warnings or safe conclusions from signs:

 Look at those clouds! It's going to rain.

 You're going to fall if you aren’t' careful!

2) PLANS AND INTENTIONS

We use WILL for spontaneous decisions that are taken while speaking:

 What will you have for dessert?

 I think I'll have some apple pie, please.

We use GOING TO for decisions that are already have taken, plans or firm intentions:

 I'm going to study at Cambridge University.

 My father's going to buy a hybrid car.

The PRESENT CONTINUOUS is also used to talk about plans, and above all to ask:

 What are you doing next Saturday?

The PRESENT SIMPLE is also used for talk about schedules (every day it happens to the same
time):

 What time does the next train leave?

3) WILLING

We use WILL to express our will, above all in negative:

 He won't let his daughter marry an unemployed man.

 The teacher won't change the date of the exam again.

(= will not want to do it)

 We may be defeated today, but we won't give up.

 We will continue the fight!
 Let you copy my answers? I'm sorry, but I won't.

(The noun will also means "will")

4) WITH CERTAINTY VERBS

With some verbs WILL is always used and not GOING TO for talk about the future:

 I imagine they will tell me if he gets worse.

 I suppose she will come by car.

Take a good look: some of these verbs are translate into present simple in Spanish:
 I hope you will be happy.
 I don't think he'll want to celebrate his 59thbirthday
