WILL vs GOING TO | Learn to correctly talk about the future

[@majeds1422]

I’m going to watch all of the video lessons of yours and I’m gonna try to watch as many as I can throughout the day

[@InteractiveEng]

Glad to hear that! Thanks for commenting. 👍

[@Rinoa4242]

I think you convey a clear meaning of going to and will. You are the best of English teachers in terms of going to vs will

[@Aerosmith77]

I remember you had a lesson about it already, explaining the differences between will/going to. If you use will, it means a prompt decision like: I will open the door! - when someone is knocking on it. I don't say I'm going to open the door because I didn't plan to open the door. It is a prompt decision about a sudden, unexpected happening.

"Will vs Going to" is THE most confusing part of English grammar!!😖😔 You explained it nicely, thank you Wes, but as we can see even if the rule says "will", people use "going to" Could you please explain why we say : "I'm going to miss you!" and "We're going have so much fun together!" btw, my grammar book says the opposite: " if the prediction is based on scientific research/evidence) we should use "will"... So confusing!!!!🤯

[@InteractiveEng]

Glad you enjoyed the lesson. Yes, it's difficult to categorize different sentences and situation. For both sentences you gave, I think you could also use WILL. You could use WILL in the sense that you're expressing a fact (I'll miss you.) Or you could use GOING TO in the sense that you have evidence (love/friendship) in which you know this is likely to happen (I'm going to miss you.) 👍

By the way, I have a habit of not answering phone calls or opening the door when my mom is away, but if she wants me to do so anyway, she asks me to do it. Then I think I would answer right: I'm going to open the door! (because I plan it)

[@12701270able]

In the end will and going to has become equal to each other. The subtel, sheer difference is Will is a will and quick decision,prediction Going to includes a movement and plan. Prediction ,offer and threat if All is based on a plan, we can use going to but if there is a will in the three ones mentioned,it will be better to use will. Is what I understand right?

[@InteractiveEng]

Yes, that's right. Thanks for checking out the lesson. 👍

Hi Wes! Thanks for the vídeo. Please clarify my question: if I'm writing a message to my customer should I say: your order will arrive on March 31 or ....is going to arrive on....? Thanks

Either works. But I think it may be more common in business to use WILL (stating it like a fact). 👍

From Gustav, I have a problem with the word will. It looks exactly like will in German buts it means something way different. Will in German means "I want" something. e.g - Ich will Eis = I want ice cream. It's not "Eis CREMA" like lots of Americans say. Vicki has a problem with the word will in German. She said she always "sees" the word meaning 'something that happens in the future. It took her 3 years to start "seeing somebody wanting something."

From Vicki: I listen to a lot of stand-up comedy, which totally confuses Gustav because this woman said "My mother thinks of herself as part of the Godfather's family. I'll just make her an offer she can't remember," [her mother is 85 in the skit.] He usu doesn't 'get' English comedy and I didn't understand ANY of the German jokes. That felt really depressing. I failed to comprehend even one German joke.

[@InteractiveEng]

Hey Vicki. I imagine that can be frustrating. But I think comedy can be really challenging in another language. Sometimes, it's not only the meaning of the words that have to be understood but also any social or cultural references as well. It's the same for me with Spanish. It's often too fast for me to process the information and know why things are funny. I used to watch movies with friends and when everyone started laughing I continued to sit there. 😂
