 DEfinition

Different verb forms are used to express plans for the

future, depending on the type of plan, whether it's a
spontaneous plan, pre-decided plan, or an arrangement.
 will

We use will to talk about spontaneous plans decided

at the moment of speaking. Overall, will is a versatile
and important verb in the English language when
talking about the future.
 Example

I will go to the store tomorrow to buy some groceries.

I think it will rain later today.

I will do my best to finish this project on time.

 Going to

We used going to to talk about plans decided before the

moment of speaking. that going to is not used to talk
about future events that are already scheduled or
arranged.
 Example
I am going to visit my grandparents next week

She is going to start her new job in two days

They're going to meet us at the restaurant at 7pm.

 Present continuous

We usually use the present continuous when the

plan is an arrangement – already confirmed with
at least one other person and we know the time
and place.
 Example

He is starting his new job on Monday.

I'm meeting Vita at 9 o'clock on Sunday.

We are having a graduation party next week .

Thank
You
