Future Forms Going To Vs Present Continuous 2

The document discusses the differences between using the present continuous and "going to" when talking about the future. The present continuous is used for fixed plans and arrangements that cannot be changed, like having a biology course starting on a specific date. "Going to" is used for intentions or decisions that have been made, but not fixed plans, like saying you are going to study biology. It provides examples of using each in sentences.
