Grammar check - Be going to/ Will

They're all will?

EDIT: I don't understand. Is this an Ebonics class or something? I'm not even joking, because they're literally all "will". "Be going to" would be grammatically incorrect for each of them.

Clearly the person who smashed that out of their bungholio didn't pay attention in primary school English class:p

They are all will, and I want my 5 minutes back, who do I file a complaint for refund to?

OK, now I'm really confused. Can someone help?


What is this "be going to" thing? I genuinely don't understand. In the above link, there are 20 questions, all to which the answer is "will". Where does the "be going to" part fit in?
 
I'm (well was!) confident someone on here will know what i'm talking about!! :D

In the future tense be going to means the verb to be in the present (am, are, is) + going to

I am going to..
You are going to..
He/she/it is going to..
We are going to..
You (plural) are going to..
They are going to..
 
Something like

1 is going to
2 will
3 am going to
4 will
5 will
6 am going to
7 is going to
8 will
9 am going to
10 is going to
11 will
12 is going to

The basis seems to be in the established or immediate intention/prediction. I have to say I'd never thought about this.

That's not what the instructions specify, it's clear that it wants you to stick purely to the exact answers, which is why they are underlined for extra importance.

Either that, or whoever created it didn't think things through once again and are ultimately a complete let-down to their friends, families and themselves.

Yeah, but the instructions are written confusingly, inaccurately, even. I Googled a few "will/be going to" worksheets and they use the phrase "be going to" as a catch-all term for anything that included the words "going to".

It's really weird. It must be a recent thing. Because if it's not that, I don't have a damn clue.

Here's another example:
