    3. will knock over
    4. we are going to reduce
    5. I will see | I'm going to have | I will have

    Frage nebenbei gibt es einen eindeutigen Unterschied zwischen will und going to future, denn ich kann bei vielen will future auch goint to future Formen einsetzen?

    Frage nebenbei gibt es einen eindeutigen Unterschied zwischen will und going to future, denn ich kann bei vielen will future auch goint to future Formen einsetzen?

    • will-future wird benutzt, wenn es sich um eine Vermutung („Prices will rise again next week“), eine nicht beeinflussbare Handlung („I’m sure you will pass the exam“) oder einen spontanen Entschluss („I will have a coffee now“) handelt.
    • Das going-to-future wird benutzt, wenn eine Absicht besteht („He’s going to see Marc tomorrow“ oder wenn etwas sicher eintreten wird („He’s going to buy a car tomorrow“).


    • will leave => korrekt
    • I'm going to bring => bin ich mir nicht sicher, mich irritiert das Fragezeichen...
    • will knock over => korrekt
    • we are going to reduce => korrekt
    • I will see | I'm going to have | I will have => alles going to... da es sicher eintreten wird
    • will win => korrekt
    • will take down => korrekt
    • will go => korrekt
    • is going to get married => korrekt
    • will have been disappeared. => will have disappeared (ohne been)
    • will celebrate => we are going to ... da es sicher eintreten wird, sonst wäre die Einladung unnütz
    • are going to fly => korrekt
    • will take => I am going to, da eine Absicht bekundet wird
    • will start => korrekt
    • going to tell him => korrekt
