Red face Will vs going to vs present continuous

Hi,
A student of mine the other day had some exercises where she had to choose which of the above to put in the sentence. I know will is used for predictions, or future decisions made at the time of talking, and going to is for plans made before talking, but what about present continuous? I could work out which one it should be in most of the sentences, but in some I couldnīt see any difference between going to and the present continuous. Does anyone know the rules?
Thanks
