Will and Be Going To
We use 'will' for predictions, spontaneous decisions, promises, and offers. For example, 'I think it will rain tomorrow' or 'I'll help you.'

- Will: predictions, spontaneous decisions, promises, offers.
- Be going to: plans/intentions, predictions based on evidence.
Present Continuous and Present Simple
The Present Continuous is for definite arrangements in the near future, often with a specific time. Think of things you've confirmed, like 'I am meeting my friend at 7 PM.' The Present Simple is used for timetables, schedules, and programs. For instance, 'The train leaves at 8 AM' or 'The film starts at 9 PM.'
- Present Continuous: definite arrangements (fixed plans).
