What's difference? "intend to " and "will"
What situation will "intend to" be used in?
"intend" is verb. / "will" is modal verb. ...right?
I would like to get some more expressions(explanations).

Hello,
The will is closer to action then the intention.
Will expresses more determination and insistence with a settled mind to do something ,while the intention is to have something in mind (not made up yet) as a purpose or goal. The time span between the will and the action is shorter than that between the intention and the action .
" i will buy this car " That reflects a decision made to buy it in the near future .
When in the shop holding a commodity and settling your mind on buying it ,you would tell the shopkeeper " i will take it " . So the decision is made and you are buying it in an instant .
While :
" I intend to spend the summer vacation in Paris" You could be saying that in the spring time , having this idea in your mind not as a last decision but as an alternative or a choice you favor but could possibly change.
I hope those examples are sufficient :)
