Dan Hi guys! Dan for BBC Learning English here
with this week's Learner Question. Find out what it is after this.
This week's learner question comes from Christina from Austria, who asks: Would you be able
to explain the difference between "will" and "going to" when talking about the future,
please?
Of course, Christina, it’s quite a common question. I hope this answer helps.
So, there’s a difference between future predictions and future plans and we’re only
going to be looking at future plans for the moment. Please remember that these rules are
a rough guide and sometimes native speakers bend or even break them – so be careful.
So, a man goes to the airport. He’s carrying a suitcase. In the suitcase is a passport,
some clothes, some sunglasses and a ticket. He’s goes up to the check-in desk and he
says to the lady there, “I’m flying to Spain later today.” Notice this is the present
continuous. That’s for a future arrangement. It’s called an arrangement because it’s
like a plan, but he has the ticket, and the ticket is evidence of the plan. This means
that if the man were to disappear, the airline would still expect him to arrive for the flight.
That’s what the evidence means.
However, the lady behind the check-in desk says “Sorry. No, that flight’s been cancelled.
But you can fly to Australia or to Russia.” Well, this is a big decision, so the man goes
to the cafe to think about it. When he comes back he says, “Ok, I’m going to fly to
Australia.” That’s be going to for a future plan. He’s had time to think about it in
the cafe before speaking, but he doesn’t have a ticket so it’s not an arrangement.
But the lady behind the check-in desk says “Sorry! You took too long in the cafe. That
flight has gone. But you can still fly to Russia.” So, the man says, “Ok. I will
fly to Russia.” That’s will for a future based on a decision made at the moment of
speaking.” He makes the decision at that time. No plan existed before that.
Did you get it? That’s present continuous for a future arrangement. It’s be going
to for a future plan and it’s will for an instant decision made at that moment.
I hope that answers your question Christina. Thank you very much for writing to us. If
anybody else out there has a question for Learners’ Questions, you can email us on:

box and your name and the country that you’re writing from. Unfortunately, we get so many
