Step-by-step solution for: Future Tense ESL Printable Worksheets and Exercises
It looks like you've uploaded an image of a worksheet titled "WILL" or "GOING TO" — this is a common English grammar exercise that helps students practice the difference between using "will" and "going to" for future actions.
Since I can't view images directly, I’ll need you to describe the content of the worksheet or provide the text from it. However, I can explain how to solve such a task in general and give you a step-by-step guide on how to approach it.

These worksheets usually include:
1. Fill-in-the-blank sentences
Example:
> She ___ (go) to the party tonight.
→ Answer: *is going to go* (if planned), or *will go* (if spontaneous).
2. Choose the correct form
Example:
> A: Look at those dark clouds!
> B: It ___ rain.
→ Answer: *is going to rain* (based on evidence)
3. Rewriting sentences
Change one form to the other.
4. Matching exercises
Match situations to the correct structure.
5. Multiple choice questions
---
#### Step 1: Read the sentence carefully.
Look for clues:
- Evidence? → "Going to"
- Opinion/prediction? → "Will"
- Plans/arrangements? → "Going to"
- Spontaneous decision? → "Will"
#### Step 2: Identify context
Is it a plan ("I’ve booked tickets")? Then use going to.
Is it a sudden idea ("I think I'll call her")? Then use will.
#### Step 3: Apply the rule
Use:
- "I am going to..." for plans.
- "I will..." for predictions, promises, or spontaneous decisions.

✘ "I will go to the gym tomorrow." (if already planned)
✔ "I am going to go to the gym tomorrow." (if it's part of a plan)
✘ "It will be cold tomorrow." (without evidence)
✔ "It is going to be cold tomorrow." (if you see dark clouds or forecast says so)
---
- Practice with real-life examples.
- Use "going to" when there’s a clear intention or visible sign.
- Use "will" for unplanned decisions, predictions without proof, or formal statements.
