🎯 Lesson Goal
Learn how to talk about future consequences using ‘will’ and ‘going to’ in everyday situations like work, travel, and personal plans.
🧠 Grammar Focus
We use ‘will’ and ‘going to’ to talk about future results or consequences. ‘Will’ often shows decisions or promises about the future. ‘Going to’ is used for planned events or when we see something is about to happen. For example, if you do not study, you will fail the test. If it is going to rain, take an umbrella. Structure: Subject + will + base verb, or Subject + to be + going to + base verb. Use these forms to talk about what will happen after an action or event.
