The future of there is/are = there will be
The future of I can = I'll be able to NOT I'll can.
In English we often use "I think" and "I don't think" with will.
eg. I think he'll fail the exam / I don't think he'll pass the exam.
NOT I think he won't pass the exam.
In English, when an offer is a question, we use Shall I...? or Shall we...? (NOT will)
eg. Shall I call you tonight? Shall we pick you up at 7pm?
In English we often use definitely and probably with will/won't.
eg. Jo will definitely pass the exam.
Lara probably won't be able to take a holiday this summer.
In English we can use 'be going to' or present continuous for future plans.
'Be going to' shows you have made a decision.

Present continuous emphasizes that you have made the arrangements.

In English we usually use present continuous when we have made an arrangement with another person. They are the kind of arrangements you would write in a diary. We can always use 'be going to' instead of present continuous.
