There is no one 'future tense' in English. There are 4 future forms. The one which is used most often in spoken English is 'going to', not 'will'.
We use 'going to' when we want to talk about a plan for the future.
Example :
+ I'm going to see him later today. + They're going to launch it next month. + We're going to have lunch first. + She's going to see what she can do. + I'm not going to talk for very long.
Notice that this plan does not have to be for the near future. + When I retire I'm going to go back to Barbados to live. + In ten years time, I'm going to be boss of my own successful company.
We use 'going to' when we want to make a prediction based on evidence we can see now. + Look out! That cup is going to fall off. + Look at those black clouds. It's going to rain soon. + These figures are really bad. We're going to make a loss. + You look very tired. You're going to need to stop soon.
We can replace 'going to go' by 'going'. + I'm going out later. + She's going to the exhibition tomorrow.
