Answer 2

Both options in each sentence are generally correct, but there are subtle differences in their implications. Here's a breakdown:

1. It's too cold. I will/am going to put on gloves.

   • Both "will" and "am going to" work here. "Will" implies a future action, and "am going to" implies a planned action.

2. He is flying/will fly to Rome on Wednesday.

   • Both "is flying" and "will fly" are correct. "Is flying" suggests that the action is already arranged or scheduled, while "will fly" emphasizes the future action.

3. Kate is at the supermarket. She will/is going to buy some food for dinner.

   • Both "will" and "is going to" are suitable. Again, "will" emphasizes the future action, while "is going to" implies a planned action.

4. Tonight, my parents will have/are having dinner with their friends.

   • Both "will have" and "are having" are correct. "Will have" suggests a future arrangement, while "are having" implies a more immediate or planned action for the evening.

In general, the choice between "will" and "going to" depends on the context and the speaker's intention to convey a planned action or a spontaneous decision. Both are widely used and accepted in everyday language.
