WILL / SHALL PRESENT CONTINUOUS TO BE GOING TO

WILL Will and Shall are used to express something that we decide to do in the moment when we speak. Example: It’s Tom’s birthday. I will buy a present for him. Will is used to express an event that will certainly happen in the future and that does not depend on the will of the speaker. Example: In 2016 I will be 18. Will is used for official announcements. Example: The parliament will elect a new president. Will is used with adverbs: Perhaps, probably and surely. Example: Perhaps I will leave tomorrow.

SHALL It is used for informal proposals It is used only for the first person singular and plural Example: Shall we go to the cinema? It is used when we offer to do something Example: Shall I help you?

PRESENT CONTINUOUS The present continuous can be used with the meaning of the future to express a precise plan for the future. Example: I am leaving by train tomorrow We use the present continuous because in the example we have the intention to leave (it’s a program).
