GRAMMAR REVIEW: Will vs Going to

hello there
business as usual in spite of the
quarantine and the
lockdown um
in today’s installment we’ll have a bit
of
english grammar mostly related to
how we make the future terms in english
and specifically we’ll be talking about
the uses
of will and
[Music]
guarantee
[Music]
so we’ll start talking about
the uses of will when we want to talk
about
future facts or things we believe to be
true about the future
we use will
also when we’re making a decision
we use will but take notice rapid
decision
we use going to after the decision
has been made look i’m thirsty
i think i will buy a drink
and
he’s pondering she’s pondering em
i’m gonna buy a drink i’m going to buy a
drink
see once the decision has been made
next offer
that looks heavy i will help you with it
don’t worry i won’t tell anyone
no
if you don’t listen if you don’t stop i
will tell your mom
see
he won’t listen to anything i say
and over here a reminder of
how we contract will not
will not equals

she will not listen to anything i say
is this understood so next
we’ll continue talking about the uses
of going to
going to is used with predictions as
much as
you can use will for this purpose we’ll
look into it later on
um as we said before
we use going to after the decision has
been made
let’s see we’re talking then
about a prior plan so the decision
was made before the moment of speaking
i’m going to the beat i made the
decision
to go to the beat before i thought
i think i’m going to i think i will go
to the beat
then i say i’m going to the beat
expensive
that something is likely to happen
even though the name
my stomach hurts a lot and i think
i am going to throw up um
it’s 17 nil they’re going to win
and the score
is
is often pronounced as gonna they’re
gonna win
i’m gonna throw up
and now we’re going to over complicate
things
even more in order to make it even more
difficult for you
you’ll see
now look closely at the examples
you can use both will and going to
for making predictions
i think it will rain tomorrow
i think it is going to rain tomorrow
but now compare
are you busy this evening
possible answers would be i haven’t made
any plans
or i think i will probably watch tv
but we can also say i’m probably
going to watch tv
will and going to are both possible here
we’re predicting what will happen
because nothing is planned
now let’s look at the
other positive and answer when they
already
made plans yes
i’m going to the movies
only going to is possible here because
this is a prior plan
well thanks for tuning in and i hope to
talk to you soon
about english or science
