Hello! ✌🏻
Can you help me ? I can't understand what the difference between Future Simple / to be going to / Present Continuous. For me they are very same. Where/ how can i use it right ? What is the rule ?
Thank you very much in advance ! 🌺🌠

Future simple: instant/immediate decisions, promises, offers, predictions, suggestions, future facts (e.g. I'll be home all afternoon"). You can also use "shall", for example, to suggest something ("Shall we eat out tonight?"). If you want to offer or suggest something using pronouns "I" or "we", you use "shall" instead of "will".
Be going to: future plans and intentions, predictions based on evidence.
Present continuous: future arrangements.
You can often use either "be going to" and "present continuous" interchangeably.

Hi Raniya,
It is difficult, because they can be interchangeable in some contexts 🤯
In general:
- Future simple for promises/ unplanned decisions/ predictions based on intuition rather than evidence
- Going to for plans/ firm intentions/ predictions based on evidence
- Present continuous for fixed arrangements - this area between present continuous and going to is where there is most crossover. Generally present continuous indicates details have been agreed, e.g. you know where you’re meeting, what time etc.
The best thing to do, if you can, is to book a class or two to work through some examples of each and get a feel for how they work. Good luck!

Sometimes they can seem very similar. Present continuous can refer to future plans but also talks about actions that are happening now but not yet completed. Example: I'm going to see a movie next week. (future plan) I'm going to a movie with my friends (doing now).
