Will vs Be Going To vs Present Continuous: Talk About the Future in English (Jack Explains)
This English lesson explains the difference between WILL, BE GOING TO, and the PRESENT CONTINUOUS when talking about the future.
(BTW, my wife loves my hair 😀)
THE THREE SENTENCES:
- Okay, I'll get my hair cut soon (I made the decision to do this while speaking).
- I'm going to get my hair cut soon (I have the intention to do this but I don't have an appointment)
- I'm getting my hair cut on Tuesday (I have an appointment)
FIRST CONDITIONAL:
You can use both WILL and BE GOING TO in the first conditional. Learn more about the first conditional here: • How to Use the First C...
PREDICTIONS
We can use both WILL and BE GOING TO when predicting the future.
- I think it will rain soon
- I think it's going to rain soon
However, if you are basing your prediction on current evidence, use BE GOING TO.
- look at that black cloud. It's going to rain soon!
PRESENT SIMPLE:
We can also use the present simple to talk about the future. This is when something is on a schedule.
- what time does the lesson start?

I'm a native English speaker and trying to explain how to use Will, going to, and present continuous to a friend who is trying to learn English. We just use it without thinking about it. But I never realized how complicated future tense was.

Future is not a tense. It's time

@@learnenglish890 Yeah that's true. Tense refers to verb tense and since the present and future verb tense in English are the same it could be argued that there is no future tense in English. We just use the auxiliary verb will or going to to signify future.

I already watched this so many times... and it helps my very much when I watched for the first time that I take 7/10 in the english test!
One of the easiest and most understandable explanations I've ever come across about this topic! Brilliant!
I've never seen a better video about this topic, and I can not believe now I understand the difference! Thank you so much
Thank you Jack for making this video. I’ll save it in my library. I’m going to use it as a material for our English grammar lessons. These tenses and their uses are going to give headaches for my Vietnamese students, who, in their native language, don’t have any notions about them. Classes in Việt Nam are reopening early next month, as the government has announced the end of the stay-home period. Stay healthy and motivated. My best wishes to you.
Jack, congratulations. I´ve watched tons of videos about this topic and this is the best one. This mainly because the given examples were easy to understand and overall due to the double repetition of the same example. It helps a lot to cement or root the point you are explaining. So, it would be nice to keep watching and hearing videos like this one. Thanks a lot.
I love your videos! for non-speaking English students you are very good at explaining grammar not only in structure, but also the functionality of it in the language. Thank you so much!!
I'll share this video . Intention at the moment of decision I'm going to share this video. premeditated intention . I'm leaving tonight . Future arrangement ( i have decided to leave )
Your are the best teacher in the world 😭❤️
I teach English in Taiwan. I thank you a million. It's super clear, i love your examples of getting hair cut. It helps me sooooossssssoooooo much.
Hey, thank you very much for the video. The three tenses feel easy when we use them spontaneously, but apparently it can be complicated when we have to explain it to other people. 😅 Now I have better understanding about them, thanks to you. I'm going to show this video to my students. The narrative example makes it easier to understand!
Congratulations! I'm italian and I love your lessons... I understand everything. Amazing!
Been trying to think of some nice clear examples to teach this concept, so this is absolutely bloody perfect.
Excellent explanation as always Jack, Thank You !
I had watched many videos on this topic, but this is somewhat great. All the four topics in a single videos. Thanks a lot.
Thank you for your useful lesson! I love it so much! You are the best teacher i have ever known
Thank you so much! Your way of teaching make this very difficult subjet a little easier! Great lesson! I'm watching from Italy! See you soon
So clear, so useful, so updated...I wonder why others don't use your way of teaching..it all seems so complicated with them and so easy with you 😍.I will fallow your way...thank you

I'm studying to teach ESL and this is one of the best videos I've seen. The explanation is so clear and detailed! Plus, I love how there's no music in the background while you're speaking because I can't concentrate on what someone's saying when there's music. Thank you so much! You've just got a new subscriber. :)
