​Will and Going To (page 88)

1. ​We use will and going to, to talk about the future and to state intentions and predictions.

2. ​We use will to express a voluntary action or a promise.

3. ​Going to is less formal. We use it to talk about future plans and intentions, and we place it after the verb to be.

First exercise​

​Write will or going to on the lines to complete the sentences.

Multiple Choice

I _ need to wear my sneakers to school today. 

• will

• going to

​Why is will the correct answer?

1. ​Because it expresses a voluntary action → wearing sneakers to school.

2. ​Because it does not come after the verb to be → I will need to wear...

Multiple Choice

I am _ wash the dishes, but you _ sweep the floor.

• will / going to

• going to / will

When we want to talk about something that will happen in the future, we write will or going to before the verb.

​

​Remember to write the verb to be before going to:

​She is going to the store.

​They are going to play the final game.

​Use will just before the action word: I will study.

​Use going to after the verb to be are, is, am:

I am going to study.
