will
only used to talk about the future? Yes. But there are many different contexts and uses of will
that you might not be familiar with. Do you know what the difference is between will
and be going to
? These two are often confused, but you can learn how to use them correctly by watching this lesson. I will teach you six different ways you can use will
: future intentions, promises, predictions, confirmations of place and time, order of events, and goodbyes. Take this essential lesson, and never be confused between will
and be going to
again.

thanks you’re my favorite teacher
Miguel I have just read your EngVid profile introductory paragraph and to my dismay I realized it is exactly to the one I wrote myself on my EngVid Profile, could you please explain why?
I do not know if you knew that this act is called plagiarism. Miguel, with all due respec I request that you erase MY EngVid Profile introductory paragraph from your Profile; I would really appreciate it.
Regino
P.S. Hope the EngVid staff/manager can do something in this respect.
Hi Regino, I have read yours before his. I hope he understood what you wanted. I really do not understand people who copy other people’s ideas. I feel good to see you told him directly. :-)
Thanks for your comment and support Ning, you made me feel much better; getting support from peers, it is always great news.

I will catch you later Alex with another new interesting video :-)
Could you put up a video on-anybody/anyone wants cookies? or anybody/anyone want cookies?which one is right?
and one more that is-
How and when most of the time and most of the times can be used?
no way
got 10/10, but still sound confusing to choose between “will” and “be going to”…

Excellent lesson, Alex! Thank you! But what does remain to the “be going to”? In what kind of situations one should use it instead of “will”? That is not clear for me yet. I’ll be grateful if you answer.

Hello everyone I am Piem.
thanks a lot, Alex! Useful lesson!I got 10/10, but in the sentence ‘I will help you study’ my answer was rather intuitive. Why we don’t use particle ‘to’ with study?

Thanks Alex.
THANK YOU FOR LESSONS .WHAT I LEARNED FROM WILL AND GOING TO IS ,WE USE WILL ALL THE TIME TO EXPRESS FUTURE MEANING FOR ARRANGEMENT BUT WE USE GOING TO FOR A DIRECTIVE AND SHORT PERIOD OF TIME BETWEEN THE TALKING AND ACTION .
Thanks for your comment! In the future, please don’t type in ALL CAPS LIKE THIS—it’s hard to read.
*** Please look at the first message posted ***

Dear EngVid Moderator,
Could it be possible for you to take some kind of action against 7Miguelj -the person that posted the first comment on this VideoLesson- for the reason I had already explained in my previous comment?

7/10 ?? One day I’ll talk English with proficiency, I hope (and write? and read, ??!). Or maybe not, you know, in my country exist an expression that can be used with me in this situation “old toothless horses don’t learn languages” hihihihihi.

Hi Rungruny, I just wanted to share this quotation with you, I thought you may find it interesting:
“Live as if you were to die tomorrow, learn as if you were to live forever.”, Mahatma Gandhi.
Good luck with your English.
Thank you Regino, I love it,it’s very interesting.
Thank’a a lot Alex! Your lessons will help us to improve our knowledge!
Have a nice day, everyone!
Good lesson! Thank you!
Thank you.A lex
thanks a lot my teacher .
I got 9 correct out of 10 which I though I would fail more than this!
————–
Hi, Mr.Alex, you said “will” can be used to state intention, but also, I thought verb+ing is for the term of intention. Why it wouldn’t be something like “I will buying a car”? (I know it’s sounds weird…)
Thank you!
Hello, Alex! When I learned English at school(a hundred years ago…) we used “shall” for future, first person. Now it seems “will” is the form for all the persons, isn’t it?
Thank you!
Thanks Alex..
Thank you
Thanks
Thank You!! I just got 90/100!
My mistake was “I will probably staying home” I didn’t select “I will probably staying home” because I thought it has to have a “at” between “stay” and “home”. But, I’m just saying, I know I need more practice with expressions and that stuff ^^
Thanks Alex, I’ve got 100! :)
Thank you
Thank’s alot teacher.
I’ll going back to the video, feedback my mistakes.
very rich lesson thank you
100%. thanks. very, very clear
Very helpful. How about “will” as a question form??

I usually watch you on Lingualeo.
I have noticed that the same persons write ” You are my best teacher” to different tutors. I think it’s not
honestly. Thank you for your lesson, you are my BEST TEACHER!))))))))
wonderful lesson, Alex but I hve a question: when we make suggestions, can we also use Will ?
Example:
– This bag is too heavy to me
– Don’t worry, I’ll carry it for you
What do you think about it, Alex? Is it correct?
Thank you :))
thanks
Thank you, Alex, for your lessons! I enjoy its! And all my quizes are 10 of 10 :)

Hi Noah.
your lesson was nice, but i would like to watch more videos about this modal verb (will). this topic is very important. i would like you to upload more videos about it. it was very helpful. thanks
Good, to begin my everyday life English learning.
Thank you.
Thanks Alex great lesson
Many thanks, Alex!
Thanks a bunch, my dear teacher ! … I really appreciate your great job ! THUMBS UP ! … I’ve learnt a lot about this topic. However, sometimes I confuse FUTURE with: Will – be going to (v) – Present continuous be + ing … and I have a question: Is there a difference between “I will go to the party” and “I shall go to the party”… I’ve read that WILL and SHALL can both use like FURTURE TENSE with the 1st person I – We … In what contexts ? G’day, my dear virtual teacher !
Sorry: *FUTURE TENSE hehehehe I’m looking forward to reading your answer !
Thank you Alex.
I am from Poland also. I like the way you’re. But there is one thing I would like to tell you… Please change your hairdresser :-)
I’ll see you next week.

Hi)
you write: “I going to take a taxi.” – is it correct?
maybe “I AM going to take a taxi.”
Thanks Alex..

I will see you later!
The is really a new lesson for me on the use of will, superb.

.
It’s so difficult for me,thanks Alex^^
excellent lesson
i got 100 present
Thanks Alex!
The lesson is very exciting
Thanks Alex. I was 10/10 points
wow, fantastic. i got 100 ^^. thank you for the lesson
I think there is a mistake in question six.
6. A: I’m worried about tomorrow’s test.
The correct answer is referred as:
I will help you study.
I chose another one:
I will help you studying.
By my opinion, it’s nessesary to join two verbs either with “to” or Ving. Am I right?
Thank you teacher for lesson
Thanks, Alex, for helping us!
I got 100. Thanks sir!
I will definitely learn English. I will practice harder than before.
I will practice English for six hours a day
until I can master English.
Thank you, Mr. Alex.
Thanks
Thank you, Alex!
I have done my best and have got 10 correct answers from 10 questions.
Thankyou.
I’m going to practice it…
I will always practice English
thank you

I’ve got 9 out 10 but I’ve a problem to distinguish between using I am going with out using will in future and I’LL…etc
pleas help me .
Thanks!
good lesson, all the best dear teacher!
Thank you for your class. Could you explain how to use Present Continuous and ‘to be going to’ with verbs which express movement? Especially the verbs ‘go’ and ‘come’ e.g. Sam is going to the market in a few minutes. Sheila is going to my house for tea ths afternoon. Is it OK to use Present Continuous rather than “to be going to” ? Is it true that you normally use Present Continuous rather than ‘going to’ with verbs expressing movement?
Thanks
6. A: I’m worried about tomorrow’s test.
B: ___________________.
I will help you study.
I going to help you study.
I will going to help you to study.
I will help you studying.
“you study”? isn’t infinitive? so, to study.
Thanks a lot
I got 9 correct out of 10.. Thanks alex.. It was w good lesson
Thank you very much.
I didn’t understand where I have to write “probably”. Why before verb?
Thanks a lot, very useful lesson.
Thank you so much for your lesson and for you time?????
you the best teacher)
Thanks for this valuable lesson,but I need a clarification regarding the 6th question in the quiz .
Why it is right to say I will help you study.( not I will help you to study).
Thanks again.
Thank you Alex!
I have a question: Why the sentence “I will be waiting in the lobby” is the correct not “I will be wait in the lobby”?
Thank you Mr. Alex.
Thank you very much Alex !
Thanks A lot Alex!
Alex, thank you for your lesson. But I don’t understand why we don’t use “to” between two verbs in the example: “help learn”?
Thank you, Teacher. That was a useful part in grammer
I watched this video twice on May 28, 2021, and I took the quiz after watching it once. I got ten correct out of 10.
Thank you, teacher for this lesson!
