WILL VS. GOING TO

##WILL

1. To talk about plans that we take at the time of speaking

e.g. Mohan will have a coffee after the class.

2. Predictions in the remote future

e.g. The doctor says my father will get better.

3. Invitations, requests and offers

e.g. Will you go to the Kushwaha Guest House with me?

4. In a question tag after an imperative form (not going go)

e.g. Take the test, will you?

5. To give an order or express a desire

e.g. Will you close the window?

6. Threats

e.g. Study harder or you will not pass your final exam.

Adverbs that accompany ‘will’: perhaps, probably and certainly

e.g. I will probably go on holiday when I finish my degree in September.

e.g. I will certainly give you a call when I am in Farrukhabad.

e.g. Perhaps I will visit my cousin in June.

##GOING TO

We use 'going to ' in the following situations':

1. To talk about future plans that we have decided some time before

e.g. I am going to Delhi next Christmas.

e.g. My brother and I are going to start a language course in January.

2. Predictions in the near future that the speaker is quite sure about because there are signs

e.g. It is going to rain this afternoon, the sky is grey.

e.g. My stomach is hurting, I think I am going to be sick.
