Hello Kevin, I hope you are well! "I am going to be 30 years old": Suggests it’s happening soon or is expected. "I will be 30 years old": States a future fact, no matter when it is. Both are common, but "I am going to be 30 years old" is often used for something happening soon. all the best!

Both sentences are correct and convey the same basic information, but they differ in usage and emphasis: 1. "I am going to be 30 years old." * Usage: This phrase often emphasizes a planned or expected event. It is commonly used in casual conversation. * Frequency: Slightly more informal and conversational. 2. "I will be 30 years old." * Usage: This phrase is more straightforward and neutral, often used to state a future fact. * Frequency: More formal and direct. Summary: * "I am going to be 30 years old." is more conversational. * "I will be 30 years old." is more formal and direct. In everyday conversation, "I am going to be 30 years old." is used more often.

The difference is stylistic. The subject and verb are the same for both sentences. The only difference is that sentence #1 contains an extra adjective, "going", to describe the subject "I". Inserting this extra adjective makes sentence #1 feel more descriptive, more colorful, and more conversational. That is the only difference. You can omit the word "going" without changing the meaning: "I am to be 30 years old". (Neither "will" nor "going" is necessary to speak of the future.) "Going" might look like a verb, and is derived from a verb, but it acts as an adjective, not a verb in sentence #1. Its grammatical role is similar to that of the adjective "happy" in the sentence "I am happy to be 30 years old" except that "happy" does not suggest the future the way that "going" does. You could say this even the day before your 31st birthday. Actually, you could also say "I am going to be 30 years old" even if you will be 31 tomorrow. In that situation, it would mean "I am going to act like I am 30 years old (while I still can)". Come to think of it, you can say "I am going to be 30 years old" even if you are 40. It would mean "I am going to act as if I were 30 years old". "Future" is a subtle thing in English. There are no magic rules. Future is implied primarily through context. Words like "will" and "going" are often helpful but neither one is inextricably linked to the future.

Both are acceptable and commonly used. You can use whichever way you prefer. You say I will be x years old, when talking about a future upcoming date. "It's my birthday next Wednesday, I will be 30 years old" . I am going to be x years old is the same more or less. "I am going to be 30 years old on my birthday next Wednesday." "I will be 30 years old on my next birthday". Normally in daily speaking the speaker will add in some extra information to make it clear as to the future time span. "I will be 30 years old in a weeks time" "I am going to be 30 years old next year" So the nearness and/or long term time frame is not what dictates, which one to use. It is up to you. Either as the speaker to clarify, or as the listener to ask for clarification.

Both are correct but most common sentence is i am going to be 30 years old.
