will + infinitive and the be going to form
PEG 201,203-6
Future with intention can usually be expressed by will + infinitive or the be going to form. Very often either of these can be used, but when the intention is clearly premeditated the be going to form must be used, and when the intention is clearly unpremeditated we must
list' will + infinitive.
Put the verbs in brackets into one of these two forms. (In some of the examples the present continuous could be used instead of the be going to form.)
