• The President will serve for four years.
• The boss won't be very happy.
• I'm sure you'll like her.
• I'm certain he'll do a good job.
If we are not
so certain about the future, we use 'will' with expressions such as 'probably',
'possibly', 'I think', 'I hope'.
• I hope you'll visit me in my home one day.
• She'll probably be a great success.
• I'll possibly come but I may not get back in time.

making a future prediction based on evidence in the present situation, use
'going to'.

day.

• The traffic is terrible. We're going to miss our flight.

of making a decision, use 'will'. Once you have made the decision, talk about
it using 'going to'.

number. I'm going to call her about the meeting.
