I'm trying to help a student whose teacher has marked some test answers wrong but before I give her my opinion I wanted to check with the experts here to see what they think. I would like to know, in the following 2 examples, which answer is correct (will or going to):
1. "In 2020 people will buy more hybrid cars." vs. "In 2020 people are going to buy more hybrid cars."
2. "Philip will be 15 next Wednesday." or Philip is going to be 15 next Wednesday."
Also, could you please explain why we use one over the other. Thanks.
