Grammar be going to

Grammar be going to

Function

The use of "going to" to refer to future events suggests a very solid link with the present. The precise moment is not relevant, it is later than now, but the attitude implies that this event depends on something we know about the current situation. "Going to" is used mostly to talk about our plans and intentions, or to make predictions based on current evidence

When we use "going to" in a sentence to refer to the future, the construction is composed of three elements:

the verb "to be" conjugated according to the subject + "going" + the infinitive of the main verb

	Sujeto	+ to be (conjugado)	+ going	+ infinitivo
	She	is	going	to leave
	I	am	going	to stay
	Afirmativa
	He	is	going	to jog
	Negativa
	He	is not	going	to jog
	Interrogativa
	Is	he	going	to jog?
	Interrogativa Negativa
	Isn´t	he	going	to jog?

The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams
