Future: going to & will

Goals

You know when to use "to be going to" and when to use "will".

Will

"Tomorrow I'll miss you"

Something the singer thinks is going to happen

Will

We use will for:

• predictions
• Things we think or know will happen

To be going to

We use to be going to for:

• Intentions
• Things we have decided to do

To be going to

"I am going to write home every day"

This is an intention, or something the singer has decided to do.

Practice

We are going to correct the songs

I ... write home every day

1. am going to
2. will

I ... send all my loving to you

1. am going to
2. will

You ... lose that girl if you don't take her out tonight.

1. am going to
2. will

I ... true

1. am going to be
2. will be

If you don't treat her right, you ... find her gone

1. are going to
2. will

If you don't take her out tonight, she ... change her mind.

1. is going to
2. will

That's it for today

Thanks and I will see you next week!
