THE FUTURE TENSE
1. Talking about future actions
We use both will and going to to talk about our future actions but there is a clear difference.
Study this example situation

Will : kita menggunakan will bila kita memutuskan untuk melakukan sesuatu pada saat berbicara.
Pembicara tidak memutuskan sebelumnya. Sebelum Helen menyuruh ayahnya, dia tidak tahu
kalau ban kempes.
Later, Helen's mother spaeaks to her husband.

She has a flat tyre.
Father : Yes, I know. She told me.
I am going to repair it tomorrow.
Going to : kita menggunakan going to bila kita telah memutuskan untuk melakukan sesuatu.

padanya.
