Level 2 = (Verb Tenses) Simple Future

Simple Future - Will

"Will" usually expresses a promise to do something or a voluntary action. Sentences are formed with "will + verb". You can turn the sentences into negative sentences by placing "not" between "will" and the verb.

Simple Future - Be Verbs + going to

"Be verb + going to" usually expresses a plan to do something. Sentences are formed with "be verb + going to + verb". You can turn sentences into negative sentences by placing "not" between the "be" verb and "going to".
