FUTURE TENSE

When to use “WILL”

Will can be used in expressing rapid decisions, or a

future action that you have decided on at the moment
of speaking. 
Examples: 
“I’m thirsty! I think I will buy a drink.” 
“This is so expensive! But I will be able to afford this
someday.” 
“Okay, I’ll go to your party!” 
Remember also that the condensed form of I will is I’ll
and will not is won’t. These are very much commonly
used in conversational English. 
Will can also be used when you are making an offer.
For example: 
“I will help with you your luggage, they look heavy!” 
“You can’t go there alone, I’ll go with you.” 
“I’ll get the mop for you.” 
It’s also used for making promises. 
“I will keep your secret.” 
“I won’t let you down!” 
“I’ll be there, I promise!” 
And for making threats, which are very similar to
promises but can be connoted negatively. 
“I’ll break your nose if you hurt her.”
“If you don’t pull yourself together, I’ll never let you see
me again.”
“I won’t pay for damages if you drive recklessly.” 
 When to use “GOING TO” 

One huge difference in using GOING TO versus

WILL, is that you use GOING TO when the action was
already decided on even before speaking of it. 
Examples: 
“I’m going to take some time off work this year.” 
“They are going to adopt a child.” 
“He’s going to quit his job and become an artist.” 
Going to can also be used for a future action when
there are signs or evidence that it is likely going to
happen. 
“They’ve been together forever. He’s going to propose
soon.” 
“This team is playing so bad today. They’re going to
lose!” 
“I shouldn’t have eaten that much! I’m gonna throw
up!”
