GRAMMAR VIDEO

Watch this video!

(Veerle Vos Albeda, 2020)

I'm going to explain the difference between "will" and "going to" in this video and how these grammar topics work. The video's duration is about 5 minutes.

 

If you understand the video you can go on with this WikiWijs and take the formative test.

If you're still struggeling with these grammar topics, watch the video again!

 

(If you´ re still struggeling after watching the video again, if you really don't like to learn from a video, here is the information written down!)

When to use WILL ( R, 2019 )

I‘ll have salad now.

I think United will win the game.

The sun will rise tomorrow.

A promise

I promise I won’t tell anyone you broke the window.

An offer

I‘ll take you to the airport tomorrow.

A threat

I‘ll tell your parents what you did.

A refusal

No, I won’t cook your dinner, you can cook it yourself.

When to use BE GOING TO

I’m going to visit my aunt next Friday.

Look at those black clouds. It is going to rain.

Get back! The bomb is going to explode.

Note:

Both Will and Be Going to can be used for making future predictions without having a real difference in meaning
Examples:
I think it will be foggy tomorrow. = I think it is going to be foggy tomorrow.
