    The document discusses the use of "going to" to talk about the future. It is used: 1) To talk about intentions and plans that have already been made for the near future. 2) To make predictions based on evidence seen in the present. 3) When you are certain something will happen in the future, even if not in the near future. The document provides examples of using "going to" in positive, negative, and interrogative sentences. It contrasts "going to" which is used for planned future actions, with "will" which is used more for predictions, assumptions, and spontaneous actions.
