It Is Taking Me So Long to Go Through Aa in School

Выражение be going to (I'm going to do)

A

I am going to do something = я уже решил делать это, я намереваюсь это сделать:

• A: Are you going to watch the late film on TV tonight?
  B: No, I'm going to have an early night.
• A: I hear Sarah has won some money. What is she going to do with it?
  B: She's going to buy a new car.
• I'm just going to make a quick phone call. Can you wait for me?

B

I am doing и I am going to do

Мы используем I am doing (present continuous), когда мы говорим о том, что запланировали сделать, например, запланировали встретить кого-то или пойти куда-то:

• What time are you meeting Ann this evening?
• I'm leaving tomorrow. I've got my plane ticket.

I am going to do something = я решил это сделать (но, возможно, не планировал это делать):

• 'Your shoes are dirty.' 'Yes, I know. I'm going to clean them.' (= я решил почистить их, но не планировал это делать)
• I've decided not to stay here any longer. Tomorrow I'm going to look for somewhere else to stay.

Часто разница незначительна, в таком случае, любая из форм возможна.

C

Вы также можете сказать, что 'something is going to happen' (что-то собирается произойти) в будущем. Например:

The man can't see the wall in front of him.
Человек не может видеть стену перед собой.

He is going to walk into the wall.
Он собирается врезаться в стену.

Когда мы говорим, что 'something is going to happen', ситуация в данный момент делает это очевидным. Человек идет в сторону стены, поэтому мы видим, что он собирается в нее врезаться.

Ещё несколько примеров:

• Look at those black clouds! It's going to rain. (в данный момент мы видим облака)
• I feel terrible. I think I'm going to be sick. (сейчас я ужасно себя чувствую)
• The economic situation is bad now and things are going to get worse.

D

I was going to (do something) = я намеревался сделать это, но так и не сделал:

• We were going to travel by train, but then we decided to go by car instead.
• Peter was going to do the exam, but he changed his mind.
• I was just going to cross the road when somebody shouted 'Stop!'

Вы можете сказать, что 'something was going to happen' (что-то собиралось случиться, но не случилось):

• I thought it was going to rain, but it didn't.
