Everytime we need to make a prediction based on something we can see, feel or sense we need to use this structure: Examples:

• The red car is going to have an accident! it's going very fast!
• I'm going to fail my test, I didn't study. I can feel it!

We use present continous + time expression to talk about an organized plan in the future: Tonight I'm taking a boat tour with my friends. (You already have the tickets) In December I'm travelling to Europe, I'm very excited. (You already have the reservations.)

arrangements or appointments.

We also use present continous + time expression to talk about something you have arranged with other person or people.

• Tomorrow I'm seeing my dentist.
• This weekend I'm having my hair cut.
• I'm so nervous, tomorrow I'm sitting a job interview.

Decisions made at the moment of speaking.

When we make a decision the instant we are speaking we are going to need WILL. *You're at a cafeteria* I'll have a latte and a sandwich please! *You see an add on the internet* I'll buy it! *You remember an important thing* I'll call my friend!!

I promise to love you.... or I will love you...

Will, in the correct context, expresses promises. This is the reason on every love son you can listen to it. I'll love you forever! I'll never lie to you. I'll tell the truth!!
