4A GRAMMAR
What’s the difference? ‘Will’ and ‘be going to’
USE WILL FOR A FAR FURTHER FUTURE ACTION 
One important detail about “WILL” is that it is most often used to discuss things or situations that may take a long time to happen. Here are some examples of situations when he expression “WILL” is used:
Dreams
 “Someday I will learn another language.”
Promises
 “I promise I’ll call you tonight!”
To express actions that are far into the future
“I will get married someday.”
Requests
“Will you buy a hamburger for me? Thank you!”
To discuss a fact
“I’ll graduate from college next year”
After making a decision
“Yes! I will marry you!”
Help/Volunteer
“I’ll volunteer at this event tonight!”
WHEN TO USE “GOING TO”

One huge difference in using GOING TOversus WILL, is that you use GOING TO when the action was already decided on even before speaking of it.
“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!”
  • Going to can also be used for a future action when there are signs or evidence that it is likely going to happen.
