Разница между I will и I’m going to

Урок 23
A

Будущие действия

Изучите разницу между will и (be) going to:

Сью разговаривает с Хелен:

SUE
Let’s have a party.
HELEN
That’s a great idea. We’ll invite lots of people.

will (’ll): Мы используем will, когда мы решили что-то сделать в момент речи. Говорящий решил это сейчас, а не раньше. Идея о вечеринке - новая.

Позже Хелен встречает Дейва:

HELEN

Sue and I have decided to have a party. We’re going to invite lots of people.

(be) going to: Мы используем (be) going to, когда мы уже решили что-то сделать. Хелен уже решила пригласить много людей до того, как встретила Дейва.

Сравните:

  • ‘Gary phoned while you were out.’ ‘OK. I’ll call him back.’
    ‘Gary phoned while you were out.’ ‘Yes, I know. I’m going to call him back.’
  • ‘Ann is in hospital.’ ‘Oh really? I didn’t know. I’ll go and visit her.’
    ‘Ann is in hospital.’ ‘Yes, I know. I’m going to visit her this evening.’

Будущие события и ситуации (прогнозирующие будущее)

Иногда нет большой разницы между will и going to. Например, вы можете сказать:

  • I think the weather will be nice this afternoon.
  • I think the weather is going to be nice this afternoon.

Когда мы говорим, что что-то is going to happen (собирается случиться), мы так думаем из-за ситуации вокруг нас сейчас (см. урок 20C). Например:

  • Look at those black clouds. It’s going to rain. (not It will rain)
    (Мы можем видеть, что собирается пойти дождь, по облакам, которые сейчас видны в небе.)
  • I feel terrible. I think I’m going to be sick. (not I think I’ll be sick)
    (Я думаю, что заболею, потому что сейчас чувствую себя ужасно.)

Не используйте will в таких ситуациях.

В других ситуациях, используйте will:

  • Tom will probably get here at about 8 o’clock.
  • I think Sarah will like the present we bought for her.
  • These shoes are very well-made. They’ll last a long time.
