What are the differences between will and be going to?

We use will when we make a decision about the future at the moment of speaking.

What do I want to drink?

I think I will have a coffee.

We use be going to when the decision is made before speaking.

I know what I want!

I am going to have a tea.

We can also use will to talk about predictions based on something we expect to happen.

I will probably be late because the buses are often delayed.

We use be going to to talk about a prediction based on evidence.

Look at those black clouds! It is going to rain soon.

Right I’m off now! I’m going to buy a coffee.

Bye!

Future decisions

We use will when we make a decision about the future at the time of speaking.

  • PERSON A: I'm cold. 
  • PERSON B: OK, I'll get your coat.

We use be going to when the decision is made before speaking.

  • I've decided! I'm going to go and see my boss!
  • I'm going to go to Brazil next year.

Predictions

We can also use will to talk about predictions based on something we expect to happen.

  • He'll probably forget the meeting. He always does.
  • It'll probably be cold next month. It'll be winter!

We use be going to to talk about a prediction based on current evidence or what we can see.
