Hello,
Posting here is absolutely the right way to ask questions :)
I do think there are some articles and tests about the subject in question here at ETC. You might want to use the search functionality (provided by Google) to find those pages.
Actually, I will do it for you in a few days (when I'm not so busy).
In the meantime, I encourage anyone viewing this thread to take part in it.

Hello,
I find that "English Grammar In Use" books by Raymond Murphy is one of the best books concerning grammar for both teachers and students.
You have explanations and exercises to do. In addition, you have the answers to the exercises at the back of the book.
It's very direct and easy to understand.
To answer your question in sum; we use will and going to for future tenses.
Use WILL when you decide to do something at the time of speaking and GOING TO when you have already decided to do something in the future.
Example; I will have a party next week (just decided at the moment of speaking)
I am going to have a party next week (decided last week to have a party).
I hope this is useful for you.
Good Luck.
Would you explain to me when do we use Will and Going to and Present continious,please?
This is my first visit to english tenses with cartoons and sure this is my first question, and I don't know if this is the right way to ask or not. I hope somebody could help me to find out the rules. Thanks a lot.
