To understand in what situations you would use the will-future, take a look at the examples below:
Old lady: "Ohh, these bags are so heavy."
Young man: "Wait a second, I'll help you to carry them!"
"I want to go hiking tomorrow. I really hope it won't rain."
Generally the will-future is used to express rather uncertain predicts about the future. If you have a definitive plan, you use the going-to-future
In the exercise below, you have to fill in the gaps with the correct forms of the will-future.
