Future forms: will and going to: how it works
English has several ways to talk about the future. Use will for decisions made now, predictions and promises (I'll help you). Use be going to for plans and for predictions based on what you can see now (Look at those clouds, it's going to rain). Use the present continuous for fixed arrangements (I'm meeting Sam at six).
