Going to


Going to: present continuous

We use the present continuous form of the verb go + preposition to + noun phrase to talk about movement in relation to a place or a person in the present:
Are you going to Maggie’s party tonight?
I’m going to the shops. Do you want anything?

 
Ir a: presente continuo
Usamos la presente forma continua del verbo ir + preposición a + sintagma nominal para hablar de movimiento en relación con un lugar o una persona en el presente:

¿Vas a la fiesta de Maggie esta noche?
 
Voy a las tiendas. ¿Quieres algo? 
 

Going to: future

We can use a present form of be + going to + the base form of a main verb to talk about the future. We use it for plans and intentions, predictions and commands:
I’m going to buy a new car next week. (plan or intention)
You’re not going to do all this in an hour. There’s just too much to do. (prediction: the speaker can see how much there is to do)
I’m telling you, you’re going to do it. You don’t have a choice. (command)
Yendo al futuro
Podemos usar una forma presente de be + going to + la forma base de un verbo principal para hablar sobre el futuro. Lo usamos para planes e intenciones, predicciones y comandos:

Voy a comprar un auto nuevo la próxima semana. (plan o intención)

No vas a hacer todo esto en una hora. Hay demasiado para hacer. (predicción: el hablante puede ver cuánto hay que hacer)
 
Te lo digo, vas a hacerlo. No tienes elección. (mando) 
 

Was going to

We use a past form of be + going to when we talk about a plan we had that may have changed.

You’re not staying out in this rain, are you?

Simple past with when clauses Clauses are groups of words which have meaning but are often not complete sentences. Some clauses begin with the word "when" such as "when I dropped my pen..." or "when class began..." These clauses are called when-clauses, and they are very important. The examples below contain when-clauses. Examples: When I paid her one dollar, she answered my question. She answered my question when I paid her one dollar. When-clauses are important because they always happen first when both clauses are in the simple past. Both of the examples above mean the same thing: first, I paid her one dollar, and then, she answered my question. It is not important whether "when I paid her one dollar" is at the beginning of the sentence or at the end of the sentence. However, the example below has a different meaning. First, she answered my question, and then, I paid her one dollar. Example: I paid her one doll
