A: It means that you will make progress on whatever it is you are trying to accomplish. If you want a job that pays well, and you get a degree in engineering, that’ll get you somewhere.

A: A will is a record of a person’s wishes for what will happen after they die. It also includes who will get all their money and possessions, usually family.

It usually shows they have been disowned

A: Check the question to view the answer

A: WILL

One important detail about “WILL” is that it is most often used to discuss things or situations that may take a long time to happen. The expression “WILL” is used in the following situations:

Dreams – ex. Someday I will learn another language.

Promises – ex. I promise I’ll call you tonight!

To express actions that are far into the future – ex. I will get married someday. 

Requests – ex. Will you buy a hamburger for me? Thank you!

To discuss a fact – ex. I’ll graduate from college next year

After making a decision – ex. Yes! I will marry you!

Help/Volunteer – ex. I’ll volunteer at this event tonight!

GOING TO

One important detail about “GOING TO” is that it is most often used to discuss things or situations that might happen soon. The expression “GOING TO” is used in the following situations:

Definite plans – ex. I am going to help you with your English!

Immediate actions – ex. I’m going to eat lunch with my friend tomorrow (not 3 years from now).

Actions that will happen soon – ex. I’m going to be a doctor someday.

Anticipation – ex. Are you going to download our free Ebook?

Predicting a future action – ex. The weather is going to be very cold today.

SO BREAK IT DOWN FOR ME

When you are plans are definite, use GOING TO. When you dream of doing something, use WILL.

When you’re talking about actions that are far into the future (months or maybe years from now), use WILL. When you’re talking about actions that you will do soon (tomorrow or next week), use GOING TO.

When you want to ask/request for something, use WILL). When you’re expecting/anticipating something to happen, use GOING TO.

Finally, when you promise something, use ‘WILL!’

A: Check the question to view the answer

A: Maybe, "It's me who will decide it." or "I will decide."

A: @yiershae
I'm going to date her.
I will date her.
In these cases, both seem to have a very high level of certainty. As though no matter what, you will find a way to date her.

However,
"I'm going on a date with her."
This suggests you have already asked her out and she said yes. You have already planned it.
But
"I will go on a date with her."
This seems similar to "I'm going to date her/I will date her." It's like you have decided that you will ask her on a date in the future, but you haven't asked her yet.

I hope this is helpful!

A: Ok, I understand. I would say, "Our decisions today will have far-reaching consequences. Whether they are beneficial or detrimental remains to be seen."
