What's the difference between these phrases? I'm not gonna tell you... I'm not telling you...etc...
Hi people :D I want to know what's the difference between these phrases :

"I'm not telling you! "
"I'm not going to tell you!"

and not only these phrases but the form overall... are they the same? is their meaning the same? I don't know if it has to do with the decision made at the moment, or something you already had in mind...

What's the difference between these phrases? I'm not gonna tell you... I'm not telling you...etc...
Hi people :D I want to know what's the difference between these phrases :

"I'm not telling you! "  
"I'm not going to tell you!"

and not only these phrases but the form overall... are they the same? is their meaning the same?  I don't know if it has to do with the decision made at the moment, or something you already had in mind...

Answer

Both sentences mean the same thing. But, they also can change depending on the context of the conversation. "I'm not telling you!" is generally a more casual way of saying "I'm not going to tell you!"

Answer

Im not telling you means : now , at this moment I dont say anything to you(about special subject).maybe in futur I chang my mind.
But Im not going to tell you means : I will not say anything(about special subject) never .
