I find a sentence . "They are going away tomorrow morning. Their train is at 8.40." this sentence is right . why "They will go..." can not be used?

It can.

Have you read the UE article I provided the link to in post #4? We explain there that there are often several possible 'correct' ways of expressing the future in many contexts.

 

[hylhyl]

Yes, I read it. But my book's reference unswer is "They are going". I confused.:?:

You are going to stay confused unless you makes some effort yourself. Look through some of the links we have given and suggestions we have made. If you find specific examples which you don't understand, ask about them.

It's no use coming up with vague examples from a nameless book. If your book says that "They will go away tomorrow morning" cannot be used, then throw away the book. Will may not be very likely in that particular utterance, but it is possible.

Another sentence. "AAre you doing / Will you do) anything this evening?
B:Yes,(I'm going / I'll go ) out with some friends. "
That'it. Which is right?
