We use ‘I will’ to talk about the future.
We use ‘I will’ to make promises about the future.
- I promise I will do my homework tonight.
- I promise I will help wash the dishes after dinner.
We don’t need to use ‘I promise’.
- I will do my homework tonight.
- I will help wash the dishes after dinner.
We also use ‘I will’ to offer to help people.
- I will answer the phone for you.
- I will clean that up for you!
Like ‘going to’, ‘I will’ can also be used to make predictions about the future.
- It will be sunny tomorrow.
- Our hockey team will win the next game!
Instead of ‘I will’ we can make it shorter by using ‘I’ll’
- I’ll do my homework tonight.
- I’ll clean that up for you!
We don't use ‘I will’ to talk about our plans! Instead we use ‘going to’.
