• We often use will/ won’t + infinitive to make future predictions

without evidence.
For example,
“I’m doing an English course.” - “You’ll learn a lot.”
“Who do you think will win the competition?” - “I think our team
team will win.”
“ I’m reading a new book”. - “ You won’t finish reading it. It’s very boring”

IN GENERAL, THIS FORM IS USED TO EXPRESS A VERY UNCERTAIN

FUTURE, SOMETHING YOU ARE NOT SURE OF.
• You can also use be going to make a prediction when we know /can
see what’s going to happen.

For example, in the sky the clouds are very dark and you can hear
thunders.
You say,
“It is going to rain.”
For example, Your friend is studying very hard for the English exam.
You say,
“ You are going to pass the exam.”

IN GENERAL THIS FORM IS USED TO EXPRESS SOMETHING YOU ARE

PARTIALLY SURE OF BUT NOT COMPLETELY SURE.
 When we use these forms we can see that the degree of
certainty of the future events is as follows

-
CERTAINTY
• will
