When we want to talk about future facts or things we believe to be true about the future, we use 'will'.
· The President will serve for four years.
· The boss won't be very happy.
· I'm sure you'll like her.
· I'm certain he'll do a good job.
If we are not so certain about the future, we use 'will' with expressions such as 'probably', 'possibly', 'I think', 'I hope'.
· I hope you'll visit me in my home one day.
· She'll probably be a great success.
· I'll possibly come but I may not get back in time.
· I think we'll get on well.
If you are making a future prediction based on evidence in the present situation, use 'going to'.
· Not a cloud in the sky. It's going to be another warm day.
· Look at the queue. We're not going to get in for hours.
· The traffic is terrible. We're going to miss our flight.
· Be careful! You're going to spill your coffee.
At the moment of making a decision, use 'will'. Once you have made the decision, talk about it using 'going to'.
· I'll call Jenny to let her know. Sarah, I need Jenny's number. I'm going to call her about the meeting.
· I'll come and have a drink with you but I must let Harry know. Harry, I'm going to have a drink with Simon.
أسـأل اللـه أن يوفقنـا جميعـاً في الدنيـا والآخـرة، وأن ينفعنا بما علمنــا،
ولا تحرمـونا من خالـص دعائكــم،،
وتقبلوا خالص التحية والتقدير،،
Best wishes
