Otra pregunta extremadamente común entre los estudiantes de inglés es "¿Cuál es la diferencia entre "will" y "be going to "?" Es una pregunta comprensible, porque ambos hablan sobre el futuro. A primera vista, pueden parecer sinónimos. Sin embargo, la diferencia entre los dos es significativa... y depende en gran medida del contexto...

"Be Going To"
1) "Be going to" se utiliza para planes futuros que ya se han organizado o planeado con anticipación. Por ejemplo:
“My daughter is going to travel to Vietnam in the summer"
"We are going to build our own house"
2) También podemos usar "going to" para predicciones con evidencia en el momento presente.
"He's riding his bike too fast! He's going to crash!"
“Look at all that snow. The schools are going to be closed tomorrow"

"Will"
1) Puede usar "will" para tomar decisiones en el momento. Estos no son planes organizados, son elecciones espontáneas.
Waiter: "What would you like to eat?"
Customer: "I'll have the steak and chips, please"
2) "Will" puede usarse para predicciones que no se basan en evidencia.
"The food here is really great! You will love it"
"My dad will be furious when he finds out that I scratched his car..."
3) "Will" se utiliza para hacer ofertas.
"I can see that you're busy, so I'll make the dinner"
“Welcome to our hotel, sir! I'll take your suitcase for you... "
4) Y finalmente, "will" también se puede utilizar para hacer promesas.
"If you get good grades, we will buy you a new computer"
"I will call you as soon as my plane lands"
