 Future with  "Going To"

In addition to "will," we also use "going to" to describe future actions, especially in the following cases:

- Plans or intentions: 

  When you’ve already decided to do something in the future.

  Example:  

  I am going to visit my grandparents this weekend.

- Predictions based on evidence:  

  When you have some visible or known signs about what’s going to happen.

  Example:  

  Look at the dark sky! It’s going to rain.

Mistakes to Avoid

- Using "will" for planned actions: 

  For actions you have already decided on, it’s better to use "going to."

  Incorrect: I will travel next month (if it’s a plan).  

  Correct: I’m going to travel next month.

- Omitting "will" in questions or negative forms:  

  Always use "will" when forming questions or negatives.

  Incorrect: She go to the party?  

  Correct: Will she go to the party?

Using the Simple Future properly allows you to talk about future plans, predictions, and decisions with ease and accuracy.
