Will, Going to and Present Progressive

Will is used more for spontaneous actions and decisions, in addition to requests, promises, possibilities and probabilities of future.
Examples:

I’ll get it.

No problem; I’ll do it later

I don’t think they’ll come

Going to is used for decision made for the future or conclusion with regard to the future.

Examples:

I’m going to see them next week.

We are going to sing at the party

Present Progressive is used for action already arranged for the near future.

Examples:

We're having a lunch next month

I'm going to see you at 8 o'clock

May/Might

We use 'might' to suggest a small possibility of something.

Examples:

She might be at home by now but it's not sure at all.

It might rain this afternoon.

We can use 'may' to ask for permission.

Examples:

It may rain later today.

I may not have time to do it today.
