Future tenses
There are several different ways in English that you can talk about the future. This page is an introduction to the most important ones:

Predictions/statements of fact

The auxiliary verb will is used in making predictions or simple statements of fact about the future.

• The sun will rise at 6.30 tomorrow.
  
• Lunch break today will be 10 minutes longer than usual.
  
• In the year 2050 all students will have their own computers in school.
  
• If you help me, I will help you.
  
• Do you think she will come soon?
  
• You won't pass your exams if you don't start working harder.
  
• I know my parents won't let me go to the party.
  
• Will it snow for Christmas?
  
• I know she's sick, but will she be back in school tomorrow?
  

Intentions

The auxiliary verb going to is used in talking about intentions. (An intention is a plan for the future that you have already thought about.)

• We're going to buy a new car next month.
  
• I'm going to work in a bank when I leave school.
  
• In the new year I'm going to stop eating so much junk.
  
• He's not going to go to the dance. He's got too much work.
  
• I'm not going to watch TV until my science project is finished.
  
• Are you going to play basketball after school?
  
• What are you going to have for lunch today?
  

Note: going to is often used in the past tense to talk about an unfulfilled intention. Examples: I was going to study for my grammar test, but I had no time. / He was going to call you, but he couldn't find his mobile phone. / My grandmother was going to visit us, but she fell and broke her arm.

Arrangements

The present continuous tense is used in talking about arrangements. (An arrangement is is a plan for the future that you have already thought about and discussed with someone else.)

• I'm meeting my mother at the airport tomorrow.
  
• Our grandparents are visiting us this Christmas.
  
• Sorry, I can't stay after school today; I'm playing tennis with Jun-Sik.
  
• My sister's going to the dentist tomorrow.
  
• I'm not returning home for the holidays, so I can come to your party after all!
  
• Are you doing anything on Sunday morning?
  
• Do you know if he is going to the dance with Maiko next week?
  

Scheduled events

The present simple tense is usually used to refer to future events that are scheduled (and outside of our control).

• Hurry up! The train departs in 10 minutes.
  
• I leave Frankfurt at 5 o'clock in the morning and arrive in New York
  at midnight the next day.
  
• She has an appointment with the headmaster after school today.
  
• There's no need to hurry. The train doesn't leave for another 30 minutes.

WILL and BE GOING TO for future intentions
Will (future simple) is used to express future intentions that are decided at the time of speaking (spontaneous offers, promises and decisions):

اقتباس :

Come on, I'll help you with those bags. (seeing that someone is struggling with their shopping bags)

Be going to is used to express future intentions that have already been decided before the time of speaking:

اقتباس :

I can't make it on Saturday. I'm going to help my parents around the house. (referring to a decision that the speaker has made in the past)

WILL and BE GOING TO for predictions
Will (future simple) is used to make predictions that are based on personal judgement, opinion or intuition:

اقتباس :

I'm sure you'll have a lovely time in Italy. (opinion)

Be going to is used to make predictions that are based on present evidence. The predicted event is either very near (and can be seen) or seems sure to happen:

اقتباس :

My sister's going to have a baby. (we can see that she is pregnant)

BE GOING TO and present continuous for future plans
Be going to refers to future intentions that have been decided but have not been fully planned:

اقتباس :

We're going to get married. (referring to a past decision)

The present continuous tense refers to fixed future events and emphasises that plans or arrangements have already been made:

اقتباس :

We are getting married next month. (the wedding has already been arranged)

Cheat sheet

The Basics: Future with Will:
The future in English can be rather confusing. There are two future forms used in most conversations: the future with 'will' and the future with 'going to'. The main difference between the two forms is that 'going to' is used for plans and intentions made before the moment of speaking, and the 'will' to speak about the future at the moment of speaking. Study these basic forms and then use the referenced resources to practice these forms. Teachers can print out these materials for use in-class, or find help with how to teach future forms, as well as the lesson plans suggested below.
There are two basic future tenses used to describe things that happen in the future. Besides these two there are some other future tenses which can be started on the advanced future tenses page. The first future tense is the future with 'will'. Use the future with will to talk about an event in the future that you have just decided to do, for predictions and for promises.
I think I'll go to that party next week.
The economy will get better soon.
Yes, I will marry you.
The Basics: Future with Going to:
