    We use "going to" to talk about plans and predictions that are based on evidence. We use it in positive sentences like "I am going to visit my friend" and questions like "What are you going to do tomorrow?". We use "will" to talk about instant decisions, promises, offers, and predictions without evidence. We use it in sentences like "I will help you with that" and questions like "Will you pass me the salt?". Both can be used in negative sentences by adding "not", such as "I will not go to the party" or "She is not going to call him".
