Today My study. I had a lesson yesterday with a tutor. I could learn a few new English expressions and have a chance to rethink several phrases I've already known. It was truely useful experience. I just use the word "will" as an auxiliary verb. If I wanted to say something in the future, I could easily add it before a verb like "I go there." can convert to "I will go there." Also, I hardly use the phrase "~going to". It has a very same meaning with 'will'. But because of its length, I prefer 'will' word to it. Think about it. As for the English learner, a long phrase means that it makes me very nervous. :) Anyway, I never recognized any differences between will and ~going to regardless of the length. However since the wonderful lesson, I exactly learnt the subtle meaning gaps. If someone wants to say about something that will happen in very near future or almost instantly, he or she would better use 'will'. It is more natural and clearer. However, in the other cases, for example if someone think of something taking time and finally make a decision, then '~ going to' is fitter than 'will'. I understood the difference from bewteen them is a length of the time interval. Of course, it is ridiculous to determine all the terms. However I thought it needs a standard for the language learners. Thankfully, the tutor gave me several examples. And I've almost got them. Anyway, it remains a practice in order to master the expression. It's just up to me. :) I'll do all of my efforts to learn the English.

Today My study.

I had a lesson yesterday with a tutor. I could learnt a few new English expressions and now have a chance to rethink several phrases I've  I already known knew. It was a truely useful experience.

I just learnt to use the word "will" as an auxiliary verb. If I wanted to say something in the future, I could easily add it before a verb like "I go there." which can would convert it to "I will go there."

Also, I hardly use the phrase "~going to". It has a very same  similiar meaning with to 'will'. But because of its length, I prefer (using)  'will' word to it. Think about it. As for the an English learner, a long phrase means that it makes me very nervous. :)

Anyway, I never recognized couldn't see any differences between will and ~going to regardless of the length. However since the wonderful lesson, I exactly learnt their exact subtle meanings gaps.

If someone wants to say talk about something that will happen in the very near future or almost instantly, he or she would should better use 'will'. It is more natural and clearer. However, in the other cases, for example if someone thinks of something and taking takes time and finally makes a decision, then '~ going to' is fitter than 'will'.

I understood the difference from bewteen them is a short length of the time interval. Of course, it is ridiculous to determine all the terms. However I thought it needs a standard for the language learners. Thankfully, the tutor gave me several examples. And I've almost got them.

Anyway, it remains a practice in order to master the expression.
It's just up to me. :)

I'll do all of my efforts to learn the English. I'll put all my effort in to learn English.

Excellant! You're English is GREAT! :)

I'm not a teacher, just a native speaker so I corrected it according to how it would be said.

Hope this helps and good luck.
