7. BE GOING TO + INFINITIVE
As you can see you have the verb “BE” so it is clear that you have to conjugate it. (And you all already know how to do it)
You have to be aware because you need to add a verb in the infinitive form, this is the main verb , the verb you are going to use in the future form.

8. WILL
It is very easy to conjugate because it acts as a modal verb. I mean it is “sacred/untouchable”, it can not be changed. It must be followed (ALWAYS!!if not it doesn’t have any sense) by an INFINITIVE form
Its negative form is WON’T and it follows the same rules
She will pass the exam, I promise
