i was in class this morning explaining the difference between 'be going to' and 'will'. i said the former would be used whenever there is evidence whereas the latter would be used with personal opinions.
now, there was this sentence:
I'm sure she ...___ like the present.
the answer given in the book was:
I'm sure she will like the present.
but i wonder whether it could be possible to say:
I'm sure she is going to like the present.
in another post in this forum i read:
it's not sure it's going to rain
so now i would like to ask you further information about the use of 'be going to' after the expression 'i'm sure' or 'it's sure'
thanx
