To express future we use WILL for:

A sudden decision

  • Ok, I‘ll go with you

A voluntary action, an offering

  • I‘ll make some sandwiches
  • They will do it

A request

  • Will you help me?

A promise

  • Don’t worry, I‘ll be careful
  • I promise I won’t tell anyone

A prediction

A conditional clauses type I

No obstante, igual que en español podemos expresar el futuro de tres maneras diferentes:
Mañana lo haré (decisión más espontánea)

willI will do it tomorrow

Mañana lo voy a hacer (decisión más planeada)

going toI am going to do it tomorrow

Mañana lo hago (el presente también puede indicar futuro)

CAREFUL  present continuous I am doing it tomorrow
