FUTURE TENSES
There are different ways of expressing future in English.
Will + Infinitive
We use will to talk about plans decided at the moment of speaking (spontaneous decisions).
Be going to + Infinitive
We use going to to talk about plans decided before the moment of speaking.
Present Continuous (am/are/is + ...ing)
We can also use the present continuous to talk about future plans. We usually use it when the plan is an ‘arrangement’ – more than one person is involved and we know the time and place.
Have a look at this nice explanation, too.
