If I turn, the gorilla is going to attack me
Hello. Thank you in advance for your help.
1) "If I turn, the gorilla is going to attack me" This is conditional type I. We usually use "will" instead of "going to". I would like to know if GOING TO in this sentence is COMPLETELY wrong.
2) Can we use the word "pour" for solids? This is the example: "Pour the banana into the blender".
3) Is this preposition wrong? "They decided so when they were at the bus" (context, they were travelling by bus).
4) "I think she was brave because she gave the baby to the gorilla without terror" Is "without terror" correct here?
I know many other common ways to say this, but I just would like if "without terror" in this sentence is correct or not?
Thank you.

1. No, I wouldn't call it wrong.
2. Only for particulate solids that flow like liquids (e.g. salt, sand). I suppose if the banana was cut up into very small pieces you could conceivably "pour" it, but even then it sounds kind of weird to me.
3) "at the bus" is wrong. It should be "on the bus".
4) It is not incorrect, but it is not a form of words that comes very natura
