Quote: "I've read many grammar books". A shame you couldn't demonstrate your 'grammar knowledge' in this video. A very poor demonstration and explanation of the difference between 'will' v 'going to'. And they ARE NOT the only two ways to talk about the future in English. Very poor video.
We use "will" to express uncertainty, often with maybe or probably, we also use "will" when we decide to do something at the time we're speaking. Just like you said "will is used when we do something quickly without thinking about it. And we use "be going to" to express a plan that is already made or decided. Simple as that. :)
My understanding is : 1) Will is used for something which will happen latter or some time in the future eg. I will complete the assignment by tomorrow. 2) Going to is used for something which is shortly going to happen in near future. I am going to kill you. The short form of Going to is gonna. Here you must also tell the use of Shall & Would i think its very important ,especially the difference btw Will & Would. Maybe your are using kind of Canadian English.
There is no future tense in English. There are only the two tenses: the present tense and the past tense. However there are several future-referring expressions in English, actually only 6, these are: Will/shall/'ll + base form of lexical verb, Be going to + base form of the lexical verb, The present progressive, The simple present, Shall/will/'ll + progressive forms, and Be tp + base form of the verb. (These are not tenses, they are future-referring expressions! .
r.. you are the best, i love the way you explain, with you is so easy to learn and you are so funny, you are a great teacher, lwiding, a dominican man
i have seen many rules about will/going to... Personally i use this simple rule:
will for promises, offerings, rejections...ex: i will help you(promise). i will not come with you(rejection). Can you explain to me this? Yes i will explain it to you,(offer), i will try to do my best(promise)
and going to for future plans: ex. I am going to travel in Greece this summer(future plan) What are going to do this evening? I am going to wach TV(future plan). I am going to buy a car(future plan)
For example: "Linda is packing her bag.She is going to Switzerland.She will meet her sister there."
¡¡¡¡She comes to Switzerland before speaks with her sister!!!! ¿nop? :/
I just recommend that u write the structure and then u can give us many examples how the 7:00. Maybe u'lose few time.. It’s my first time I listen an english instructor in youtube , and I know that u can better.. it’s my humble opinion.. ¿ok?
U're really funny jajajaj.. I speak spanish and I understand a little bit english, but ur lessons are really special cuz I don't need traduce or listen a instructor who speak spanish and english the same time.
I cannot deny that is a bit hard understand.. oh fu... now I'm really confuse :S, u say some sentences and that's clear but I have some in my english book and I don't sure about diference between them.
I have never seen so atrocious and appalling "teacher" in this site, how dare you to educate and instruct people when you really are a mediocre...a second-rate person? Please stop confusing people, shame on you!
maybe WILL you use for quick decisions there's no plan, WILL for predctions, offers,etc. GOING TO when you have planned it and you are nearly doing it for sure.
7:23 - You don't like to follow rules. It's obvious by watching this video. Please learn the rules or quit. This is a perfect example of how not to teach. People come here to learn English, but your method and what you're teaching is wrong. Also, you're not cute or entertaining, but rather annoying.
I salute you and all teachers, tutors, and average citizens who go the distance, whether for pay or just out of the goodness of all involved, to help better other people's educations and knowledge. You Rock.
Thank you, Ulateach or "Ronnie." It is so resourceful having you and the others on here who try to, and do, help people; if there is one thing that this country and people coming to this country or studying the language of English speaking country’s needs---it is tutors on hand and on demand to help them.
"I am having" sounds better in my opinion. mayeb, "Having" for an action construction: having my house painted, having my car washed, having my nails done, etc. and "Getting" for an object of reception: Getting a raise, getting some new tires, getting a bonus for the Holidays, etc.
Having pr getting something Done is basically the same. It means someone will do something for you. the little different between HAVING SOMETHING DONE and GETTING SOMETHING is If you have something DONE it means you are PAYING someone to do this for you, And If you're getting something DONE it means you CONVINCED someone to do this for you, It doesn't involve payment. examples : I got my hair cut by my sister, she didn't charge any money to me. I had my hair cut, the baber charged money to me
The main difference between WILL and GOING TO is that will is used to perform actions we have not planned before the time Of speaking, example Oh, I spilled a bit of coffee on the floor, I WILL clean it up right now. You didn't plan to clean up your floor, you did because something UNEXPECTED happened. SPILLING coffee on the floor. whereas GOING TO is used for actions we've already planned, Example : I'm going to clean up the house tomorrow afternoon before my parents arrive and see the mess.
@Ulateach But are they still both future tense constructions, Ulateach?
and also this:
How about the confusion between "get or getting and have and having"? "I am having my house painted tomorrow." <----is this correct? "I am getting my house painted tomorrow." <----is this correct?
Which is correct? or are both? the "have and "get" rule is confusing. Can anyone explain?
Sometimes it doesn't matter whether we use WILL or Going to, But will is mostly for decicion we make at the time of speaking or when for giving Information or oders. Will you please be quiet? this is an order for instance. or when when we offer someone our Help, This is too heavy for you, I WILL give you a hand. or for preditions of our own. I think It will rain tomorrow.
How does your example "She will eat pasta" fit with your explanation that "will is used when we do something quickly without thinking about it"? Can you think of a context where you would naturally say "She will eat pasta"?
I'm not sure you understand the usage of 'will', 'going to', 'present continuous', or 'present simple' to express future time (there is no future tense in English). You talk about the form a lot, but very little accurate discussion of the difference in meaning.
@smilernick "She will eat pasta"...... It is an EXAMPLE.......yes I can think of loads of times where I would say she'll eat pasta. Not my fault you have no imagination. Yes there is a future tense in English.....better check yourself before you wreck yourself. I KNOW you don't understand the tenses.
@EnglishLessons4U Thanks for the reply. I'm afraid my lack of imagination isn't throwing up any examples, so I'm looking forward to yours which involves 'doing something quickly without thinking about it'. Could you also give us some examples of the 'future tense' in use (rather than, say, using a modal auxiliary). Describing the future is an interest area of English, so thanks for the discussion.
Well. I've just happened to follow your discussion... I'm an english teacher in brazil and must say people are very quick to criticize and yet impolite with their ways to do so... The point is that I also can think of many situations where she would eat pasta(in addition this is a way of reprted speech-that means if modals like Will had a past tense it would be Would(past-future in other languages)... The usage goes more like this: Instant or made-on-spot decisions: Will.. I'll put you through.

Going to is used for PRACTICAL/FUNCTIONAL PLANS, short term or not that long term goals: What are you going to wear for the party?... I'm going to watch a football match tonight... So, it's the same of saying: What are you planning to wear... I'm planning to watch a...
@EnglishLessons4U Actually, there is NO FUTURE TENSE in English. Future time reference is expressed by present or past tenses. "She will eat pasta" is a present tense form of "will" with future time reference. "Would you fill in this form as soon as possible, please?" is a past tense form of "will" with future time reference.
Apart from getting your facts wrong, I think you're being rather disrespectful towards smilernick, who rightly questioned your material in a polite way.
@EnglishLessons4U completely wrong ' I will eat pasta' it is a hanging sentence, has no meaning out of context so you are right smilernick. he will eat past IF there is no rice, would be more correct.
@EnglishLessons4U, if we're being really accurate there isn't actually a future 'tense' in English, there are only two 'real' tenses (present and past).
She said that " I will eat tacos" (In this also I had confused - Is there have to be "a" in front of "tacos" or not?) But, I will eat (a) tacos -means that I decided it right now, so I don't know I eat this tomorrow or in other days, I want to eat this right now.
But I'm going to eat (a) taco(s) - it means that I have already decided it, but I want to it this tomorrow, or other days, so I say:
@albertoflugbegleiter in Espanish, yo sé que se usa "going to", para acciones que si van a si van a suceder, en cambio "will" es para acciones no muy seguras que sucederán.
Thank you for your this video it's great and nice to learning and know more thing that man really don't know at now . thank you again this your work is a wonderful ,and sweet I am Moka Traore by name from Guinea that is a french Country .it has been so long time I wanted learning but I don't know how to learning But with U I am happy more and more ....U are the most great woman .u will be bless all the times
Thanks for this video. I am still not 100 percent sure whether to use "will" or "going to" but the rule (that you tell us in the end) makes sense.
And also I want to say that I think that people who watch this video already know that "am" belongs to "I" and that "he" refers to a man whereas "she" refers to a girl. However, nice video.
If I taught future tenses like this, I'd probably be fired. There are specific situations in which to use the various future forms. These are necessary to teach so that the future can be correctly expressed. Not only will & going to, but present continuous, present simple, plus the perfect forms.
Thanks for the Videos...You are a very good teacher and I am learning.. I am spanish and I love how you know what are our tipical weakness in the english pronunciation.. You are the best...Thanks :-)
Thanks for the Videos...You are a very good teacher and I am learning.. I am spanish and I love how you know what are our tipical weakness in the english pronunciation.. You are the best...Thanks :-)
Remember that Will exists as a modal as well. And that Going to functions like present continous (includes past). But you prob have no idea how the tenses actually function...
I'm Brazilian too,and I'd like if you can tell me how I pronounce 'I will/You will/He will/She will,It will/We will/They will with contraction. Thanks for you video. It helped a lot.
@lolokoperro Woowie! You're english is perfect! You should take the time to make youtube videos and help out billions of people around the world with your incredible talent.
To all Non-Native Speaker's Of English (like me :-) )... Get a copy of : "English Grammar in Use" by Raymond Murphy.
Just Go through this and that will take care of all your Grammar Questions about Tenses like has, have, had, did, going to, will, etc. and their relative differences and also all explanations are supported by good example and Exercise to practice. Great Book indeed!!
I'm not trying to be rude (i think you have a cute accent), i'm just curious....;) it's also very unusual that you (as a canuck) pronounce words that have two t's as the british
Is that a joke? Every decent grammar book says we use ''will'' for future decissions taken on the spot, for example: I'm already late - I think I will take a taxi. We use ''be going to'' when talking about future which is already planned in advance, for example: The plane to NY leaves very early - at 6am tomorrow. That's why I am going to call a taxi for 4.30 am.
@doritos80..no, not a joke,,,,,i'm NOTt telling you what grammar books say....i'm telling you that when we SPEAK in real life, it doesn't matter if you say going to or will.
@doritos80 Why would a polish person know more than an english native? Native speakers just use going to and will when it sounds natural and you could easily say "The plane to NY leaves very early. That's why i'll call a taxi for 4:30.....
@pepperonipizza1993 'Cause apparently at least one English natives peaker doesn't even know that Polish and English should be written in capital letters ;-) Peace!
I think this was a reasonable explanation of the structure of the future forms of 'will' and 'going to' but in terms of teaching how or when to use each one it falls well short of useful. Only at the very end is the real use of 'will' touched on. 'Going to' is not dealt with at all in terms of how or when to use it.
So if you are still confused by this grammar point I would consult Murphy's English Grammar in Use which explains with excellent examples.
@brazilfarmer you have missed the point of this lesson - IT DOES NOT MATTER IF YOU SAY I WILL OR I AM GOING TO WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT FUTURE ACTIONS. I did not make this lesson to explain the uses in detail.......it is not needed in conversation.
@EnglishLessons4U Well in my experience both WILL and GOING TO are used extensively in spoken English so it's TOTALLY wrong to say it's not needed in conversation. As with many things on the internet people need to be careful what they read or watch, including some online English lessons!
@brazilfarmer mate, ONCE AGAIN YOU HAVE MISSED THE POINT... i did not say that going to and will are not needed in conversation. Why would i make a video about them for conversation if they are not needed? What i said was that it is not necessary in conversation to bother about the grammatical details of the two phrases - IN CONVERSATION, THEY MEAN THE EXACT SAME THING. Please read and try to comprehend what has been said before commenting.
@EnglishLessons4U To be quite honest I don't know why I'm bothering to stoop so low as to respond to your inarticulate ramblings. However, I think people should know your arguments on this site don't make any sense and that this presentation is particularly confusing. To say "IN CONVERSATION, THEY MEAN THE EXACT SAME THING" is completely wrong and should be ignored.
B E C A R E F U L T R Y I N G T O L E A R N F R O M T H I S V I D E O - you see 'EnglishLessons4U, I can shout too!!!
hi teacher u r so great . ur explanation is ver...ry great . i m so poor in english pleazzz...... help me .im ur new student tell me wheare i start to learn english?? i mean which video is the basic or which is the first one for the new student?????? soory if i write wrong .because i m ur new student to learn english .you neaver mind ok. i shall be very thank ful to you if u help me. pleeeeeazzz. please help me. you r the very good teacher for the new students.
@maddimad16 when you SPEAK or tell someone the information ( in the future you are in London), ALL of your sentences are correct. I'm going to London=I'm going to go to London+ I will go to London.!!!
you are confusing people here. the main difference between WILL and GOING TO is how far we look into the future, although your explanation was correct too. If we plan something for today or in near future, we say GOING TO, if the future is uncertain we use WILL. That's the main explanation and it works like that in real spoken English. You explanation is also right. For a quick one spot decisions like I'll get it we use WILL.
hey teacher..i think you are so full of shit!! Of course THEY MUST know the difference on how to use WILL and GOING TO properly. you are underestimating stud´s intelligence.Concepts on IMEDIATE FUTURE,INTENTIONS,REAL TIME DECISIONS and FUTURE PLANS must be taken into consideration.I am a ESL Teacher in Brazil and we are all aware of its importance.
@renatoavatarian No, she isn't. I wasn't understanding the difference, and a teacher gave me another explanation, which was very confusing and probably not right. Now I think I got it. Thank you teacher!
@renatoavatarian I couldn't agree with you more. She doesn't know what she's talking about. Unfortunately this is how many people learn English and so they pick up all sorts of bad habits. Some of the other videos are okay but this one is pretty dire.
My English teacher explained the difference in this way: use will for a decision made on the spot (like in the "I'll get it!" of the example in this video) and going for plans (like in "what are you going to do tonight?" of the example). You also use going to when you foresee something happening in the immediate future because of some obvious signs in the present: "don't mess with the dog or he's going to bite you!"
You can also say - he's having a hamburger and it has the same meaning. Kudos on your explanation unlike Rebecca ESL whose explanation is incorrect and painfully boring. She blocked me for explaining why (above) her content was incorrect. What a teacher - blocking a different explanation. According to her I can't say.....hmm I think I'm going to buy this! That's ridiculous. She doesn't help with conversational English.. Native speakers don't follow her rules!
@BeyondThePale21 hey mate....if u say he's having a hamburger it ONLY means that the person is eating it RIGHT NOW. He;s going to have a hamburger is future. I think i'm going to buy this is also 100% correct.
@EnglishLessons4U ..unfortunately you are mistaken - it IS very common for people to say 'I'm going to the movies tomorrow' and "I'm having a hamburger later' using a time clause to indicate the future. It is NOT only for right now. And the time clause is not always spoken if it is already in the context of the conversation, thus making it difficult for learners to distinguish. Such usage is very common in the real world.
@BeyondThePale21 I agree with you brother. I believe teachers that know lots of rules they want to make English even more difficult or more fancy which some rules are kind of absurd or unnecessary.
I had this question in a TOEFL exam...
Daddy's birth-day was yesterday_______ made me so happy.
Use: That, Which, What only one of the three... what do you suggest?
Quote: "I've read many grammar books". A shame you couldn't demonstrate your 'grammar knowledge' in this video. A very poor demonstration and explanation of the difference between 'will' v 'going to'. And they ARE NOT the only two ways to talk about the future in English. Very poor video.

My understanding is : 1) Will is used for something which will happen latter or some time in the future eg. I will complete the assignment by tomorrow. 2) Going to is used for something which is shortly going to happen in near future. I am going to kill you. The short form of Going to is gonna. Here you must also tell the use of Shall & Would i think its very important ,especially the difference btw Will & Would. Maybe your are using kind of Canadian English.

@EnglishLessons4U Actually, there is NO FUTURE TENSE in English. Future time reference is expressed by present or past tenses. "She will eat pasta" is a present tense form of "will" with future time reference. "Would you fill in this form as soon as possible, please?" is a past tense form of "will" with future time reference.
Apart from getting your facts wrong, I think you're being rather disrespectful towards smilernick, who rightly questioned your material in a polite way.
Sarie000 5 months ago
@EnglishLessons4U completely wrong ' I will eat pasta' it is a hanging sentence, has no meaning out of context so you are right smilernick. he will eat past IF there is no rice, would be more correct.

Going to can be used for a planned decision.
Will can be used to express a spontaneous decision! ;)

@EnglishLessons4U, if we're being really accurate there isn't actually a future 'tense' in English, there are only two 'real' tenses (present and past).

She said that " I will eat tacos" (In this also I had confused - Is there have to be "a" in front of "tacos" or not?) But, I will eat (a) tacos -means that I decided it right now, so I don't know I eat this tomorrow or in other days, I want to eat this right now.
But I'm going to eat (a) taco(s) - it means that I have already decided it, but I want to it this tomorrow, or other days, so I say:
I'm going tg to eat (a) taco(s) , tomorrow

Thanks for this video. I am still not 100 percent sure whether to use "will" or "going to" but the rule (that you tell us in the end) makes sense.
And also I want to say that I think that people who watch this video already know that "am" belongs to "I" and that "he" refers to a man whereas "she" refers to a girl. However, nice video.

If I taught future tenses like this, I'd probably be fired. There are specific situations in which to use the various future forms. These are necessary to teach so that the future can be correctly expressed. Not only will & going to, but present continuous, present simple, plus the perfect forms.

Your grasp of tenses is very "Headway".
Will has no past.
Going to has a past.
Remember that Will exists as a modal as well. And that Going to functions like present continous (includes past). But you prob have no idea how the tenses actually function...

Is that a joke? Every decent grammar book says we use ''will'' for future decissions taken on the spot, for example: I'm already late - I think I will take a taxi. We use ''be going to'' when talking about future which is already planned in advance, for example: The plane to NY leaves very early - at 6am tomorrow. That's why I am going to call a taxi for 4.30 am.
doritos80 1 year ago 19
@doritos80..no, not a joke,,,,,i'm NOTt telling you what grammar books say....i'm telling you that when we SPEAK in real life, it doesn't matter if you say going to or will.
EnglishLessons4U 1 year ago
@doritos80 Why would a polish person know more than an english native? Native speakers just use going to and will when it sounds natural and you could easily say "The plane to NY leaves very early. That's why i'll call a taxi for 4:30.....

I think this was a reasonable explanation of the structure of the future forms of 'will' and 'going to' but in terms of teaching how or when to use each one it falls well short of useful. Only at the very end is the real use of 'will' touched on. 'Going to' is not dealt with at all in terms of how or when to use it.
So if you are still confused by this grammar point I would consult Murphy's English Grammar in Use which explains with excellent examples.
brazilfarmer 1 year ago
@brazilfarmer you have missed the point of this lesson - IT DOES NOT MATTER IF YOU SAY I WILL OR I AM GOING TO WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT FUTURE ACTIONS. I did not make this lesson to explain the uses in detail.......it is not needed in conversation.
EnglishLessons4U 1 year ago
@EnglishLessons4U Well in my experience both WILL and GOING TO are used extensively in spoken English so it's TOTALLY wrong to say it's not needed in conversation. As with many things on the internet people need to be careful what they read or watch, including some online English lessons!
brazilfarmer 1 year ago
@brazilfarmer mate, ONCE AGAIN YOU HAVE MISSED THE POINT... i did not say that going to and will are not needed in conversation. Why would i make a video about them for conversation if they are not needed? What i said was that it is not necessary in conversation to bother about the grammatical details of the two phrases - IN CONVERSATION, THEY MEAN THE EXACT SAME THING. Please read and try to comprehend what has been said before commenting.

@EnglishLessons4U To be quite honest I don't know why I'm bothering to stoop so low as to respond to your inarticulate ramblings.

To say "IN CONVERSATION, THEY MEAN THE EXACT SAME THING" is completely wrong and should be ignored.

you are confusing people here. the main difference between WILL and GOING TO is how far we look into the future, although your explanation was correct too. If we plan something for today or in near future, we say GOING TO, if the future is uncertain we use WILL. That's the main explanation and it works like that in real spoken English. You explanation is also right. For a quick one spot decisions like I'll get it we use WILL.

My English teacher explained the difference in this way: use will for a decision made on the spot (like in the "I'll get it!" of the example in this video) and going for plans (like in "what are you going to do tonight?" of the example). You also use going to when you foresee something happening in the immediate future because of some obvious signs in the present: "don't mess with the dog or he's going to bite you!"

You can also say - he's having a hamburger and it has the same meaning. Kudos on your explanation unlike Rebecca ESL whose explanation is incorrect and painfully boring. She blocked me for explaining why (above) her content was incorrect. What a teacher - blocking a different explanation. According to her I can't say.....hmm I think I'm going to buy this! That's ridiculous. She doesn't help with conversational English.. Native speakers don't follow her rules!
BeyondThePale21 1 year ago
@BeyondThePale21 hey mate....if u say he's having a hamburger it ONLY means that the person is eating it RIGHT NOW. He;s going to have a hamburger is future. I think i'm going to buy this is also 100% correct.
EnglishLessons4U 1 year ago
@EnglishLessons4U ..unfortunately you are mistaken - it IS very common for people to say 'I'm going to the movies tomorrow' and "I'm having a hamburger later' using a time clause to indicate the future. It is NOT only for right now. And the time clause is not always spoken if it is already in the context of the conversation, thus making it difficult for learners to distinguish. Such usage is very common in the real world.
BeyondThePale21 1 year ago
@BeyondThePale21 I agree with you brother. I believe teachers that know lots of rules they want to make English even more difficult or more fancy which some rules are kind of absurd or unnecessary.
