Will / going to

Hello everyone,

would you please explain me, why I have to use "going to" in the following sentences?

1.) What (you do) ____ with all the money you have? (= are you going to do)

2.) I've decided to study law. Really? Which school (you attend) ____? (= are you going to attend)


Thanks in advance,
Dany

Hello Dany, The simplest explanation is that you should use 'going to' when you have a plan in your mind. In these examples, you could just as easily say What are you planning to do with all the money you have? I've decided to study law.

If there's no plan, use 'will'.

That's the basic idea.
