difference between 을 거예요/을 겠어요/려고 하다 ?

Question1: with ~을 거예요 as "casual formal" speach, if I want to go more formal can I say ~을 거습니다 ? is it correct?

Question2: what is the difference between ~을 거예요 and ~을 겠어요 and ~려고 하다 ? I thought that "~려고 하다" is more like "I want to..." but then what about "~고 싶다" ?

Thank you !!

    Hi,
    1) 거에요 is a short form of 것이에요. As a more formal speech of ~을 거에요 is ~을 것입니다.

    2) Both -겠- and -(으)ㄹ 것이다/것입니다/것이야/것이에요 are the endings for future tense. They also mean conjecture, willingness of the speaker, and/or possibilities about something. ~려고 하다 represents sort of willingness (not so strongly), thus can be translated as "I'm going to", "I'm willing to" or "I would like to". ~고 싶다 can be like "I hope to" or "I want to".
