hi, everyone!!

(1) I am twenty next year.
(2) I will be twenty next year.
(3) I am going to be twenty next year.

Are there any differences among these 3 sentences?
Also, which one do you use most commonly?

I hope that someone will answer this.

(1) is not used. (2) and (3) are both completely ok. If you need gramatical explainations for this, write again?

Thank you so much, carnac!

When do you separate "(2) I will be twenty next year "and "(3) I am going to be twenty next year"? Would you explain it to me?

Thank you again for your help.
