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.
"Will" to Express a Promise
"Will" is usually used in promises.
Examples:
I will call you when I arrive.
If I am elected President of the United States, I will make sure everyone has
access to inexpensive health insurance.
I promise I will not tell him about the surprise party.
"Be going to" to Express a Plan
"Be going to" expresses that something is a plan. It expresses the idea that a
person intends to do something in the future. It does not matter whether the plan is
realistic or not.
Examples:
You will be waiting for her when her plane arrives tonight.
Will you be waiting for her when her plane arrives tonight?
You will not be waiting for her when her plane arrives tonight.
You are going to be waiting for her when her plane arrives tonight.
Are you going to be waiting for her when her plane arrives tonight?
You are not going to be waiting for her when her plane arrives tonight.
REMEMBER: It is possible to use either "will" or "be going to" to create the Future
Continuous with little difference in meaning.
Indirect Questions.
Indirect questions are a little more formal and polite. We use them when talking
to a person we dont know very well, or in professional situations, and their form is
a little different.
Example of an indirect question:
Could you tell me where the bathroom is?
Phrases for Indirect Questions
