Kaj je to?
Be going to se uporablja za prihodnje načrte, namere in napovedi, ki temeljijo na trenutnih dokazih.
Tvorimo ga s pravilno obliko glagola be, ki mu sledita going to in nedoločnik (osnovna oblika) glagola.
- I am going to travel next month.
- She is going to study tonight.
- They are going to move soon.
Oblika glagola be se spreminja glede na osebek.
Kdaj ga uporabljamo
Uporabljamo be going to za prihodnji načrt ali namero, o kateri smo se že odločili.
- I am going to call my mother tonight.
- We are going to buy a new table.
- He is going to start a new job.
Uporabljamo be going to za napoved, ki temelji na nečem, kar lahko vidimo ali vemo zdaj.
- Look at those clouds. It is going to rain.
- That glass is going to fall.
- She studied very hard. She is going to pass the test.
Običajno ne uporabljamo going to za odločitev, sprejeto v trenutku govorjenja. Za tovrstne odločitve je pogostejši will.
- The phone is ringing. I will answer it.

Izjeme
Going to običajno opisuje prihodnji čas, vendar se mora glagol be še vedno ujemati z osebkom.
- I am going to work.
- She is going to work.
- They are going to work.
Nekateri glagoli se običajno ne uporabljajo v obliki za nedovršni vidik, vendar lahko v osnovni obliki še vedno sledijo going to.
- I am going to know the answer soon.
- She is going to understand the problem.
V neformalnem govoru se going to pogosto izgovori kot gonna, vendar se gonna v formalnem pisanju običajno izogibamo.
- Neformalni govor: I’m gonna call him.
- Standardno pisanje: I’m going to call him.
