In a sentence like
How do you get to the train station?
What would be an appropriate answer (tense wise)? Could you say both of these two:
- I’ll drive you.
- I’m going to drive you.
I think both could be correct: the will one if you say it right after you’ve asked the question, and the going to one if it’s planned and you’re having that chat a week before or something.
Answer
"I'll drive you there" is the normal way this kind offer would be made in response to a mere request for information.
"I'm going to drive you there" is either patronising, forceful, or adding the connotation that this was the plan before 'you' asked the question.
