What is the difference between
will + infinitive and
be going to + infinitive? There is no difference. Both forms can be used for predicitions with no difference in meaning.
Affirmative Form
Don't forget the auxiliary verb.
In the future, you go on a trip.
In the future, you will go on a trip.
In the future, you going to be famous.
In the future, you are going to be famous.
Use only the infinitive form with the auxiliary.
You will making a lot of money.
You will make a lot of money.
Negative Form
To make a negative, simply put
not or
n't after the auxiliary. Remember that the contraction of
will + not is
won't and not
willn't.
I don't will buy a new car this summer.
I will not buy a new car this summer.
I won't buy a new car this summer.
Questions
Remember to invert your subject and auxiliary for questions.
What you will do?
What will you do?
Time Clauses
Do not use will in clauses that begin with
as soon as, the moment, before, after, once, if, or
when. These time clauses already have a future meaning.
When you will turn left, you will see my driveway on your right.
Slang
The word
gonna is slang. Do NOT use it until you have full command of
am/is/are going to.
