Passive Voice
What’s the difference between two forms of will be and going to be in future
tense (passive voice) ?
"Will be" and "going to be" are both used to indicate future actions in the
passive voice, but they have slight differences in usage
Will be:
"Will be" is used to express future actions, events, or states that are not
influenced by current circumstances. It is a more general or spontaneous way
to describe a future event
Ex:
• The report will be submitted by the team

Going to be:
"Going to be" is used to express future actions, events, or states that

are the result of current circumstances, plans, or intentions. It often
suggests a more deliberate or planned future action.
Ex:
• The report is going to be submitted by the team (implying a plan or
intention to submit the report)
