When to use "be going to"?
βοΈ future plans
βοΈ things we expect to happen
Often confused form because it is everything what comes to our mind when we think of future.
Will
BUT...
"Will" is something very different. It has NOTHING to do with plans.
It WON'T happen again.
I promise!
When to use "will" then?
βοΈ certain / possible future
βοΈdecisions, offers, promises, warnings
βοΈ on the spot decisions
1. Will you do this for me?
2. A lockdown will last till the end of May.
3. I'll call again later.

Present Continuous we use for "right now" actions we also use for the future π²
And it means...

When to use "Pr Continuous", after all?
βοΈ to talk about things that we have already arranged to do β
And that's it! BASTA!
Future form is hard to predict. But it is funny to learn!
