I plan to do something I intend to do something Can anyone explain th difference between both, "plan and intend" to do sthg My question is related to expressing the future with "to be" + going to + verb: I am going to buy a book and Present Progressive + Future words: I am buying a book next week
It is said that the first expresses intention for the future and the second expresses already Planned actions
I am buying a book next week: It �s a plan, an arrangement. We know when it is happening. I am going to buy a book: It �s an intention, like a feeling. It is not important when it is happening.
thanks Miaot and cagreis so much, i �ve found that the difference is subtle and slight and things like these are a bit difficult to explain to students especially learners of English as a second language
