Future/will - going to
Message from casanne posted on 22-09-2012 at 20:08:51 (D | E | F)
Hello,

Could you help me please?
What I would like to know is:
Is there really a difference in the meaning between "will" and "going to" ?
Thank you for your answers.

Hello,

If I'm not mistaken
"Will" is used:
-when talking about facts in the future, for example: The news will make him suffer.
-at the moment of making a decision, like saying: I will leave the town.
But when the decision becomes a plan we use "going to" (it is often used when talking about plans) like saying: I'm going to read a story tomorrow.
After all, the choice most of the times is based on the meaning of the sentence.
