WILL
When to Use Will?
The first thing you need to know is that will is an auxiliary, also known as a modal verb.
This means that we use it to create a form of the verb, in this case, the future.
Note: Will will always be accompanied by a verb in its base form to form the future
tense. Otherwise, will becomes a noun and means will. Example:
I will help you (Future)
He represented the will of the people (Noun)

Use will to express a decision made at the time of speaking


There is nothing more immediate. You are making a decision and almost at the same
time you are expressing it to the person with whom you are speaking. It is then clear
that the myth of expressing a distant future is just that, a myth.
Example:

 I will call him right now – Lo llamaré ahora mismo


 I’ll help you with those bags – Te ayudaré con esas bolsas
 I won’t let you pass – No te dejaré pasar

Use will to make predictions


In this case, we can talk about a greater distance in time, but it does not necessarily
have to be something very distant. In this case, they are general predictions about
something that we believe will happen at some point in the future. In general, these
predictions do not have physical evidence to support them.

 It will rain – Lloverá


 He will win the race tomorrow – El ganará la carrera mañana
 Don’t worry, you won’t have any troubles during your trip – No te preocupes, no
tendrás problemas durante tu viaje

GOING TO

When to Use Going to


When you use going to to form the future you should always keep in mind that we must
use the verb "be" in its present simple form and depending on the subject you are using.
Furthermore, the main verb of the sentence must follow going to in its base form. You
can visualize the above as follows:
Simple Present of the Verb “be”(am/is/are) + going to + Main Verb (base form)
Some examples
I am going to make pizza for dinner – I am going to make pizza for dinner
I'm going to travel next week
I'm not going to waste my money if I win the lottery
We use it to refer to future plans that we have already decided on. It reflects the
speaker's intentions for the future, although it does not necessarily mean that we have
already started preparations, or that such things will actually happen.
MAY Y MIGHT 
May
May is a modal verb that is used to indicate possibility, but also to politely ask for permission.
POSSIBILITY:
"It may snow"
PERMISSION:
"May I go out?" (I can leave?)
"Yes, you may" (Yes, you can go out)
Its negative form is created by adding not:
"He may not come tonight"
The question with may is formulated by placing this verb at the beginning of the sentence,
before the subject and main verb:
"May he eat tonight?" (Is it possible/could it be that he comes tonight?)
Might
On the other hand, is a modal verb that is used only to indicate possibility or probability. Might
indicates less probability than may.
"It might snow"
Like may, its negative form is might not and its interrogative function is used by placing might at
the beginning of the sentence:
"Might he eat tonight?" (Could you come tonight?)
We never use may in the past, only might:
"He might have gone to the beach yesterday"
Differences between may and might
These verbs are almost synonymous, and even native speakers have difficulty discerning
between one or the other. The basic difference between might and may is that may is used to
indicate that something is likely to be done ("might do...") while might indicates less probability
and certainty ("might do...").
Regarding your sense of probability, the best idea is to remember this definition:
May: Maybe/maybe/maybe
Might: It could be that/it could be that
