Question

Those clouds are black. It _________ rain. 1) is going to 2)will

Answer 1

Правильный ответ :1) is going to

Answer 2

Those clouds are black. It is going to rain.

Answer 3

Both options can be used to complete the sentence, but they convey slightly different nuances:

1. "Those clouds are black. It is going to rain." This option suggests that there are visible signs in the current weather conditions (the black clouds) indicating that rain is imminent.

2. "Those clouds are black. It will rain." This option is a more general statement that the speaker believes it will rain based on the appearance of the clouds, without specifying when it will happen.

So, the choice between "is going to" and "will" depends on whether you want to emphasize the imminent nature of the rain (option 1) or simply state that rain is expected (option 2). Both are grammatically correct.
