Explanation

-(으)ㄹ 거예요 is the everyday plan/prediction form: 내일 갈 거예요.

-(으)ㄹ게요 is a speaker commitment reacting to the situation: 제가 할게요.

Use 을게요 when offering help or answering a request; use 을 거예요 for scheduled plans.

Mistake: promising with 을 거예요 when the conversation expects 을게요.

Level: elementary. Read both sides of the contrast, say the examples out loud, then write one correct and one incorrect sentence and fix it.

Cross-link: open the related grammar or tools page the same day so the fix sticks in your study graph.

Examples

주말에 공부할 거예요.

I’ll study this weekend. (plan)

나중에 전화할게요.

I’ll call you later. (promise/response)

Common mistakes
