Praten over de toekomst
The most natural way to express the near future in Dutch is to use the present tense with a future time word. This is the default choice for planned or scheduled events.
Gaan + infinitief expresses a personal plan or intention — something the subject has decided to do. It is the Dutch equivalent of English "going to". The infinitive goes to the end of the clause.
Zullen + infinitief is used for promises and firm commitments, predictions and expectations, and polite offers or suggestions. It is more formal than gaan.
