Future with Will and Going to

Thursday March 13, 2008
What's the difference between: Don't worry, I'll help you with your homework. and I'm going to help the students with their homework on Friday afternoon.? Both are future forms. However, the first sentence is a spontaneous statement, the second a planned intention.

This page is dedicated to helping both learners and teachers take advantage of all the resources related to the future with will and going to on this site. Resources include explanations, quizzes, and activities.

Hi Kenneth

Your sample TOEFL tests and grammar guide are useful to English learners. Can we license your tests and grammar guide and put them into handheld electronic device for the benefit of non-English speaking students ?

Best regards
