Future Forms

Use will for quick decisions, predictions, promises, and offers. It signals that something will happen but does not focus on a plan.

Use going to for planned actions and for predictions based on present evidence. It shows intention or a likely event.

The present continuous can describe fixed arrangements or near-future plans, especially when there is a set time or place.

The simple present is used for scheduled events, such as timetables and programs, where the future is seen as certain.

The future continuous describes actions that will be in progress at a specific time in the future. It can also soften questions about plans.

Use the future perfect to say that something will be completed before a certain future time. It highlights the completion of an action.

Choose will for predictions and spontaneous decisions, going to for plans and evidence-based predictions, the present continuous for arrangements, the simple present for schedules, and use future continuous and future perfect for more precise timing.
