Future

Will and Shall

Both are used to talk about the future.

But we use them differently.

Will gebruik je als je iets zal doen of iets zal gaan gebeuren in de toekomst.

I/you/he/she/it/we/they will

De vorm van 'will' verandert dus niet.

Ontkennend: will not of won't

Vragend: Will you/I/etc. ?

Shall

Shall is a bit weird.

We gebruiken Shall alleen als we een voorstel doen of naar iemands besluit of voorkeur vragen. 

In het Nederlands zeggen we 'zullen'.

We gebruiken het alleen bij I en we. 

Shall we go to the cinema?

Nooit: Shall you go to the cinema?

Wel: Will you go to the cinema?

Be going to

Yes, there is another one.

Also used to talk about the future. 

I am going to

You are going to

etc.

I am going to watch a movie.

The difference

The only difference is when you use it. So write that down.

1. Will 

* als je iets voorneemt of beslist op het moment van spreken: Oh, we're out of Fanta. I will go buy some.

* Om aan te geven dat iets in de toekomst gaat gebeuren: It will rain tomorrow.

*Bij een wens, veronderstelling, belofte, aanbod, verzoek of voorspelling: We promise we will be on time.
