Future Forms - DIFFERENT MEANINGS?
A - Here comes Greg, but we are still missing Mary.
B - Mary is at the school council meeting as a representative of our three-member class board.
C - I think she will join 1)/ will be joining 2)/ is going to join 3) us soon.
If all of those forms are correct, will you please tell me what each of C's answers means separately or what C wants to emphasize when giving each of them?
1) I think she will join us soon. Is C certain that Mary will join them based on their knowledge of how she behaves in similar situations?
2) I think she will be joining us soon. Does C refer here to Mary's shedule for that day?
3) I think she's gioing to join us soon. Has C e.g. received an SMS from Mary confirming that she'll be with them soon?

1) I think she will join us soon.
Is C certain that Mary will join them based on their knowledge ofabout how she behaves in similar situations?
C is almost certain. All three sentences mean the same thing. There's no difference in nuance in any of them.
2) I think she will be joining us soon.
Does C refer here to Mary's shedule for that day?
3) I think she's gioing to join us soon.

Good questions! Nice work!

B - Mary is at the school council meeting as a representative of our three-member class board.
C - I think she will join 1)/ will be joining 2)/ is going to join 3) us soon.
If all of those forms are correct, will you please tell me what each of C's answers means separately or what C wants to emphasize when giving each of them?
Is C certain that Mary will join them based on their knowledge of how she behaves in similar situations?
Yes. It's not for certain but it's very likely she will join soon.
Does C refer here to Mary's schedule for that day?
Not really, because the next sentence would say if it depends on her schedule. It's more like 'she will join us soon' just reworded. It sounds a little more polite. In my opinion, the sentence sounds like Mary will be coming quickly.
3) I think she's gioing to join us soon.
Has C e.g. received an SMS from Mary confirming that she'll be with them soon?
It's kind of the same as the others. It wouldn't make sense to say you think she's coming soon when it's confirmed. Unless you are trying to hide the fact that you actually know she will absolutely be coming. In my opinion, this sounds like she is certainly going to come.
