will vs going to vs present continuous future

Lesson 82 of 84

IN

Hindi kal teen English: will = abhi decide / offer / waada (promise); going to = plan / evidence (aankh ke saamne); present continuous (am/is/are + -ing) + time = pehle se time (I'm meeting Ravi at 5). Timetable = present simple (leaves). Forms = 23. Yesterday + galat tense = I2.

1. Kya hai

Galti: ek Hindi future, galat English box. will har jagah nahi. Diary time (calendar pe time) + dusra insaan = aksar present continuous.

Job Yaad rakho Example
abhi decide / offer / waada (promise) / soch will + asal verb The phone is ringing. I'll take it. I'll help you.
pehle se plan / evidence be + going to + asal verb I'm going to visit Pune. Look at the clouds. It's going to rain.
pehle se time present continuous + future time I'm meeting Ravi at 5. We're playing cricket tomorrow.
timetable / board present simple The metro leaves at 8 tomorrow.

2. will / going to / pehle se time

Picture Yaad rakho Galat
phone abhi bajaa I'll take it. I'm taking it. (abhi decide nahi; pehle se time) / I take it tomorrow.
ticket pehle se / kit ready I'm going to visit Pune. / We're going to play. I will to visit. / I going to play.
calendar 5 pm, Ravi ke saath I'm meeting Ravi at 5. I will meeting. / I am meet Ravi.
metro board 8 am The metro leaves at 8. The metro will leaving. / is going leave.

Waada (promise): I'll meet you tomorrow chalega. Fixed slot: I'm meeting you at 5 zyada pehle se time. will / won't / going to forms = 23, yahan extra. Poora form set yahan nahi. Typical annoying habit He will leave the tap on = 72, yahan nahi. if I will = 40, yahan extra.

3. I'm going vs going to + verb

Shape Matlab Example
I'm going + place go ka -ing — abhi ya arranged trip I'm going to the station. (now or tomorrow trip)
I'm going to + verb future plan I'm going to buy mangoes. I'm going to fill the form.
I'm going to go plan + go — lamba, lekin sahi I'm going to go to Pune next week.

Tomorrow I went / Next Monday I am went = past box galat jagah (I2 pehle padha). Abhi walk: I'm going to the station (08). gonna writing me nahi.

I will come on tomorrow. / Yes, I'll. / gonna
I will come tomorrow. Yes, I will. going to. (23 forms)
Yesterday I am going. / He will leave the tap on. (habit, not I7) / much people
I2 = yesterday + galat tense. 72 = typical will (habit). I6 = much people. Here: future boxes.
Hindi note. Abhi bola = will (I'll take it / I'll help). Pehle socha / clouds = going to + verb. Diary / 5 baje Ravi = present continuous (I'm meeting). Board / metro time = present simple (leaves). Tomorrow ke saath past (went) mat lagao.
