Be going to and will

It is to know, that the grammar as far as verb tenses are concerned, there are verb
tenses that are used when we speak in the future, and they are important since they
denote the time needed to create a prayer in the future. in this case, we will make
the comparison and contrast of the use of be going to and will.

First, every time we think about the future, it ends up expressing some intention and
that is why going to, is used when talking about plans or intentions in the future to
correctly formulate a sentence. A clear example of this is, I am going to travel next
week. in contrast, will talk about decisions that are made right at the moment, on
conditionals, and on things that may or may not happen. An example for this is, the
phone is ringing. I'm going to pick it up!

On the other hand, we will use to talk about predictions that are predicted in the
distant future and, these are general predictions about something that we believe
will happen in the future but that is not entirely certain and these predictions do not
have something to support them. unlike will, going to is also used for predictions but
this does have something that supports that the action will happen.

additionally, another comparison between the two at the time of being used is in
terms of the plans, when using going to are in future plans, however, in will it is used
when they are plans that arise at the moment in which it is being spoken. that is, it
happens spontaneously. On the contrary, other forms that have a contrast between
going to and will are, in going to is supported by evidence, things planned for the
future and the same is a near future, but in Will, it is used only in opinions, intentions
as we have already said and in the distant future.

In conclusion, we have that both auxiliaries are used to speak in the future, but each
one is applicable only, in the corresponding rules. In the beginning, it is a bit
confusing but, with practice, you can understand them.
