  will vs be going to

  

  English

  

  When talking about the future, will and be going to each have specific focuses:

  • will: spontaneous decisions, predictions, promises.
  • be going to: existing plans, predictions based on evidence.

  我I 觉得think （天气it）it 会will （是）be 冷cold.

  I think it's going to be cold. (Prediction → will)

  我们We （be）are 打算going to 搬move 家house.

  We are going to move house. (Plan → be going to)

  Note Spontaneous decisions made at the moment always take will: The bag is heavy — I'll carry it.

  5.2

  Present Continuous for Arrangements

  English

  The present continuous can express future arrangements that have already been booked/confirmed (often with specific times or locations):

  我I （be）am 见meeting （冠词）the 医生doctor 在at 三点three.

  I'm seeing the doctor at three o'clock. (Appointment confirmed)

  Note be going to emphasizes "intention," while the present continuous emphasizes "already arranged." They are often interchangeable.

  5.3

  Time Adverbial Clauses

  English

  In time clauses introduced by when, as soon as, before, after, until, even when referring to the future, use the simple present tense:

  我I 会will 打电话call 你you 当...时when 我I 到达arrive.

  I'll call you as soon as I arrive.

  等Wait 这里here 直到until （冠词）the 雨rain 停stops.

  Wait here until the rain stops.

  Note Do not use will in time clauses: ~~when I will arrive~~ ✗ → when I arrive ✓.

  Common Errors

  • ❌ ~~I will meeting him tomorrow.~~ → ✓ I will meet him. / I am meeting him. — will + base verb, be + -ing; these two structures cannot be combined.
  • ❌ ~~What will you do tonight?~~ (asking about someone else's arrangement) → ✓ What are you doing tonight? — For asking about established arrangements, the present continuous sounds more natural.
  • ❌ ~~I'll go to the dentist tomorrow — I booked it last week.~~ → ✓ I am going to the dentist tomorrow. — For things already scheduled, do not use the spontaneous decision marker will.
  • Use Shall for suggestions in questions: Shall we go? (Shall we go?) Shall I open the window? (Shall I open the window?)
