Going to & Will

Di akhir lesson ini, kamu bisa:

Menggunakan 'be going to' untuk rencana yang sudah diputuskan dan prediksi berdasar bukti.
Menggunakan 'will' untuk keputusan spontan, tawaran, janji, dan prediksi umum.
Memilih bentuk masa depan yang tepat dalam situasi kerja sehari-hari.

Penjelasan (ID)

Bahasa Inggris punya beberapa cara untuk membicarakan masa depan. Dua yang paling sering di tempat kerja adalah be going to dan will. Pilihannya bergantung pada konteks, bukan selera.

Bentuk dasar:

be going to: am/is/are + going to + verb → We are going to sign the contract.
will: will + verb (tanpa to) → I will send it. (sering disingkat I'll send it.)

Kapan pakai be going to?

Fungsi	Penjelasan	Contoh
Rencana / niat	Sudah diputuskan sebelum bicara	We're going to* hire two new staff.*
Prediksi dari bukti	Ada tanda/data yang terlihat sekarang	Look at these numbers: we're going to* miss the target.*

Kapan pakai will?

Fungsi	Penjelasan	Contoh
Keputusan spontan	Diputuskan saat itu juga	The phone's ringing: I'll get it.
Tawaran / janji	Menawarkan bantuan, berjanji	I'll help you finish the deck.
Prediksi umum	Opini tanpa bukti khusus (pakai think, probably)	I think the meeting will* go well.*

Kunci kontras: Rencana yang sudah ada → going to. Keputusan yang baru muncul sekarang → will. Bandingkan: "We're going to discuss the budget tomorrow" (sudah dijadwalkan) vs "OK, I'll discuss it with finance" (baru diputuskan barusan).

Examples (English)

"We are going to restructure the team next quarter: it's already approved." "Sales dropped again this week. At this rate, we're going to lose the client." "Don't worry about the minutes: I'll write them up for you." "I think customers will like the new design, but let's wait for feedback."

Good. But marketing hasn't seen the brief yet.

Oh, right: I'll send it to them this afternoon.

Thanks. Do you think it will be ready in time?

Honestly, with the current backlog, we're going to need one more week.
