KEY TAKEAWAYS
What to Remember
- Use 'will' for predictions, decisions, and promises about the future.
- Use 'going to' for plans made before now or visible present evidence.
- Form 'will' with subject + will + base verb (no 'to').
- Form 'going to' with subject + am/is/are + going to + base verb.
- Both forms describe future actions, but 'going to' suggests more certainty or prior planning.
