Grammar explanation
We use different verb forms to talk about our plans for the future,
depending on what kind of plan it is: a spontaneous plan, a pre-decided
plan or an arrangement.
Will
We use will to talk about spontaneous plans decided at the moment of
speaking.
• Oops, I forgot to phone Mum! I'll do it after dinner.
• I can't decide what to wear tonight. I know! I'll wear my green shirt.
• There's no milk. I'll buy some when I go to the shops.
Going to
We use going to to talk about plans decided before the moment of
speaking.
• I'm going to phone Mum after dinner. I told her I'd call at 8 o'clock.
I'm going to wear my black dress tonight.
I'm going to go to the supermarket after work. What do we need?
Present continuous
We usually use the present continuous when the plan is an arrangement –
already confirmed with at least one other person and we know the time
and place.
• I'm meeting Jane at 8 o'clock on Saturday.
• We're having a party next Saturday. Would you like to come?
• We often use the present continuous to ask about people's future
plans.
• Are you doing anything interesting this weekend?

Will We use will to talk about spontaneous plans decided at the moment of speaking. • Oops, I forgot to phone Mum! I'll do it after dinner. • I can't decide what to wear tonight. I know! I'll wear my green shirt. • There's no milk. I'll buy some when I go to the shops.
  • 5. Going to We use going to to talk about plans decided before the moment of speaking. • I'm going to phone Mum after dinner. I told her I'd call at 8 o'clock. I'm going to wear my black dress tonight. I'm going to go to the supermarket after work. What do we need? Present continuous We usually use the present continuous when the plan is an arrangement – already confirmed with at least one other person and we know the time and place. • I'm meeting Jane at 8 o'clock on Saturday. • We're having a party next Saturday. Would you like to come? • We often use the present continuous to ask about people's future plans. • Are you doing anything interesting this weekend?
