  5B  will and going to
Aims: To review and practise will and going to for
predictions, plans, offers and promises.
Time: 10–15 minutes
Materials: 1 handout for each student

Exercise 1
• Give each student a handout. Students choose the
correct option to complete the dialogue. Remind
students, if necessary, that we use going to to describe
plans and predictions based on evidence, and will to
describe sudden decisions, predictions, based on what
we know or is just a guess, offers and promises. Ask a
couple of students to read out the completed dialogue
and tell the rest of the class to listen and raise their hands
if they think they hear a mistake.
KEY
1  a  ​2  b  ​3  b  ​4  a  ​5  b  ​6  b  ​7  a  ​8  b  ​
9  b  ​10  a

Exercise 2
• Students complete the sentences with the correct form
of will or going to. Check answers as a class and ask
students to say why they have used each form.
KEY
1 ’s going to be (prediction based on evidence)
2 ’re going to drive (definite plan)
3 ’ll get (offer)
4 ’s going to win (prediction based on evidence)
5 ’ll travel (uncertain plan)
6 ’ll call (promise)
7 ’m going to have (definite plan)
8 will use (prediction)

Exercise 3
• Students work in groups of four or five. Focus their
attention on the example sentences and elicit the reason
for the use of will in the first sentence (prediction)
and going to in the second sentence (definite plan).
Students then talk in their groups about their plans and
predictions.
