Future Plans and Intentions
We use "going to" for plans and intentions we've already made. It's for decisions you've thought about, not spontaneous ones. For example, "I am going to visit my grandparents next weekend" shows a made plan. Another example is, "She is going to study for her English test tonight," which is her clear intention.
- Used for decided plans.

Predictions Based on Evidence
"Going to" is also used for predictions when there's clear evidence now. You see something happening that tells you what will occur. For instance, "Look at those dark clouds! It's going to rain" uses the clouds as evidence. Similarly, "He's driving too fast. He's going to have an accident" uses his driving as evidence.
- Used for predictions.
- Requires present evidence.
Grammar Rules: Structure and Usage
The basic structure is Subject + Verb "to be" (am/is/are) + going to + Base Form of the Verb. For negative sentences, add "not" after the verb "to be." To form a question, put the verb "to be" before the subject. Short answers use "Yes, I am" or "No, I'm not" forms.
