VOCAB. BUILDER: GOING TO or WILL (Intermediate) (EXERCISE I21E102)






Grammar Rule: 

We use going to when:
·         We have already decided to do something: 
E.g. I am going to buy some books tomorrow.

·         We can say something is going to happen when it is clear now that it is sure to happen:
E.g. It’s going to rain.
                   
We use will for things we are making decisions about at this point in time. (Things not already pre-arranged or decided upon).
