Introduction
This lesson was designed for B1/B2 learners of English to learn the use of will, going to, and present continuous to talk about Future Plans. Before starting the tasks and activities, it's essential to understand how to use the different forms to discuss future plans.
Will
It is used to talk about unexpected things decided when speaking.
I.e: There's no bread. I'll buy some when I go to the supermarket.
Going to
It is used when you have already decided to do something in the future.
I.e: I'm going to the cinema after work. Do you come?
Present continuous
It's more natural to talk about and it's used when the plan is already arranged.
I.e: I'm getting married next week. (We have arranged and paid for everything.)
