Will para expectativas o predicciones futuras

Usamos will cuando deseamos predecir o adivinar lo que podra pasar en el futuro.

The trip will be fun.It will be safe, too.

The tickets will be expensive.

En cada una de estas situaciones, el interlocutor no sabe lo que suceder en el futuro, es slo una conjetura o prediccin.Cuando formulamos preguntas sobre el futuro, invertimos el sujeto y el verbo:

What will I need?Will it be expensive?

Observa cmo se contrae will :

Dont worry. It ll be fun.She' ll be here this evening.

Observa que cuando se menciona un plan, el interlocutor usa going to :

Im going to phone the travel agents this afternoon.

Esto implica que el interlocutor est hablando sobre un plan ya programado.

Contracciones de will

En ingls oral o escrito informal, will generalmente se contrae con el sujeto.

Itll rain this afternoon.Itll be expensive.Youll be tired tomorrow.

En la escritura formal, es poco frecuente el uso de contracciones.

Gonna

En ingls oral informal, going + to se unen para formar el trmino gonna .

Im gonna play soccer.Were gonna stay in a 5-star hotel.Im gonna study all night.

Gonna casi nunca se usa en ingls escrito.

Presente continuo con significado de futuro

El presente continuo se puede usar para hablar sobre planes o proyectos ya organizados.

Tomorrow were taking a train from France to Italy.

Were spending two days in Rome.

On Saturday were taking a boat from Italy to Greece.

Were staying in a small place just outside Athens.

Observa que aunque la forma ( to be + verbo + -ing ) es la misma que el presente continuo utilizado para describir lo queuna persona est haciendo en este momento, el significado es diferente. En cada una de las oraciones de arriba ella indicaque el plan ya se organiz, quizs ya se compraron los boletos y se reservaron los hoteles o el camping.
