We use WILL or GOING TO to talk about the future, and we use these words in everyday conversation. You may think you can use either one, but it's important that you know all the slight differences - and there are many - so that you can speak accurately and avoid any awkward moments.
I will go over a variety of situations and talk about which future form is more appropriate to use. I'll also show some video clips in order for you to see how the two forms are used in context. This is an advanced grammar lesson to help you fine-tune your English fluency.
In the end, you should have a much better understanding of how you can use WILL and GOING TO correctly.

I think you convey a clear meaning of going to and will. You are the best of English teachers in terms of going to vs will
I remember you had a lesson about it already, explaining the differences between will/going to. If you use will, it means a prompt decision like: I will open the door! - when someone is knocking on it. I don't say I'm going to open the door because I didn't plan to open the door. It is a prompt decision about a sudden, unexpected happening.

"Will vs Going to" is THE most confusing part of English grammar!!😖😔 You explained it nicely, thank you Wes, but as we can see even if the rule says "will", people use "going to" Could you please explain why we say : "I'm going to miss you!" and "We're going have so much fun together!" btw, my grammar book says the opposite: " if the prediction is based on scientific research/evidence) we should use "will"... So confusing!!!!🤯

Glad you enjoyed the lesson. Yes, it's difficult to categorize different sentences and situation. For both sentences you gave, I think you could also use WILL. You could use WILL in the sense that you're expressing a fact (I'll miss you.) Or you could use GOING TO in the sense that you have evidence (love/friendship) in which you know this is likely to happen (I'm going to miss you.) 👍

By the way, I have a habit of not answering phone calls or opening the door when my mom is away, but if she wants me to do so anyway, she asks me to do it. Then I think I would answer right: I'm going to open the door! (because I plan it)
In the end will and going to has become equal to each other. The subtel, sheer difference is Will is a will and quick decision,prediction Going to includes a movement and plan. Prediction ,offer and threat if All is based on a plan, we can use going to but if there is a will in the three ones mentioned,it will be better to use will. Is what I understand right?

From Gustav, I have a problem with the word will. It looks exactly like will in German buts it means something way different. Will in German means "I want" something. e.g - Ich will Eis = I want ice cream. It's not "Eis CREMA" like lots of Americans say. Vicki has a problem with the word will in German. She said she always "sees" the word meaning 'something that happens in the future. It took her 3 years to start "seeing somebody wanting something."
