초록

Many EFL students often find it difficult to grasp the exact differences between ‘will’ and ‘be going to’ as they think many English native speakers seem to use the two expressions without any difference in meaning or in use. The basic meaning of ‘will’ and ‘be going to’, prediction for the future and the future resulting from the present situation, respectively, can explain the different uses of the two expressions related to temporal meanings, but not those like formal and informal style, interpersonal function and ordering in discourse. This paper suggested that ‘will’ and ‘be going to’ should be given the revised basic meanings, hypothetic future of high probability and factual future resulting from the present, respectively; with which we could explain better the uses related to the temporal meaning and exceptional ones as well.

Abstract

Many EFL students often find it difficult to grasp the exact differences between ‘will’ and ‘be going to’ as they think many English native speakers seem to use the two expressions without any difference in meaning or in use. The basic meaning of ‘will’ and ‘be going to’, prediction for the future and the future resulting from the present situation, respectively, can explain the different uses of the two expressions related to temporal meanings, but not those like formal and informal style, interpersonal function and ordering in discourse. This paper suggested that ‘will’ and ‘be going to’ should be given the revised basic meanings, hypothetic future of high probability and factual future resulting from the present, respectively; with which we could explain better the uses related to the temporal meaning and exceptional ones as well.
