B. The be going to form used for prediction
1. We use be going to in this way when we say what we think will happen.
In other words, we predict future happening. Usually there is something in
the present situation that makes the speaker be sure what will happen. It
can be used in this way after such verbs as be sure/afraid, believe, think:
How pale that girl is! I am sure/I believe/I think she is going to faint.
2. Comparison of be going to used for prediction with will used for
probable future (the future simple) will is a common way of expressing
what the speaker thinks, believes, hopes, assumes, fears, etc. will happen:
I’ll probably be a bit late this evening.
I expect you will get a job.
You’ll pass the exam./I am sure you will pass the exam.
will and be going to are therefore rather similar and often either form
can be used.
But there are two differences:
a) be going to implies that there is a certain evidence in the present
situation that shows what will happen, will implies that the speaker
thinks/believes that it will happen.
b) be going to is normally used about the immediate future; will doesn’t
imply any particular time and could refer to the remote future.
Compare: The lift is going to break down implies that it is making
strange noises or behaving in a strange way.
The lift will break down implies that this will happen some
time in the future ( perhaps because we always overload it).

6. The Future Simple

A. Form
There is no future tense in modern English, but for convenience we often use
the term ‘future simple’ to describe the form will/shall + bare infinitive.
I/we will work I/we will not work ---
I/we shall work I/we shall not work Shall I/we work?
You/he/they will work You he they will not work Will you/he/they work?
