Will/Going to

Hi, I have a question for you. I’am sending you Image there is a sentence which is right, but I don’t understand it, In my opinion it should be there going to, not will because they already have planned it and in that case we should use going to not will, Am I right ?.

Hi,

‘Will’ is used for something that has been arranged for the future. ‘Going to’ expresses an intention.
You might like to look at some material I’ve written for the site:

well, I have always thought that for something that has been arranged for the future we use going to. But If I fill the sentence “we are going to spend” instead of will spend, Would it be grammatically right? or It does not make sense ?
Thx for your materials it looks very good.

Hi,

Both constructions are ‘grammatically right’. It is a difference in emphasis. ‘Will’ had a sense of determination and ‘going to’ a sense of intention. They may both end the same way but there is obviously a difference between the two.
