So what do we do now vs. So what are we going to do now? #1 (permalink) Wed Apr 15, 2009 18:19 pm   So what do we do now vs. So what are we going to do now?
 

So when we use the following two phrases:

"So what do we do now?" and
"So what are we going to do now?"

What is the difference between them?

Thanks,
Torsten

Hi Torsten,

I would suggest that there is an immediacy about 'So what do we do now?' 'So what are we going to do now?' suggests soon or in the future.
