Attention! In Spanish there is no difference when you say ‘Voy a ir al cine’ and ‘Iré al cine’; it’s the same. In English
‘will’ is used for future and ‘going to’ too, but there is a difference. What’s it?

Going to: you use it to speak about PLANS and INTENTIONS you have.
Will: you use it to make PREDICTIONS and speak IN GENERAL about the future. So, for example, after ‘I think’,
‘I imagine’, ‘I believe’… you use ‘will’.

Example:

I’ll have a mansion one day. (It’s a prediction, something you want to happen)
I am going to visit my aunt this weekend. (It’s a plan, you already decided)
