ivygreen is on a distinguished road
Default about : " be going to " etc.

Please teach me about "be -ing" and "be going to"
in those sentences below. If there are any different meanings
between "will" and "be going to ", could you explain about that, too?


1: " He is studying tomorrow."


2: ( "He will be studying tomorrow.")

= " He is going to be studying tomorrow."


3: ( "He will have worked tomorrow.")

= " He is going to have worked tomorrow."
