for future
It is a special expression to talk about the future.
Structure of Going to
The structure is:
subject + be + going + infinitive
Use of Going to
Going to - intention
We use going to when we have the intention to do
something before we speak. We have already made a
decision before speaking. Look at these examples:
 Jo has won the lottery. He says he's going to buy a Porsche.
 We're not going to paint our bedroom tomorrow.
 When are you going to go on holiday?
In these examples, we had an intention or plan before
speaking. The decision was made before speaking.
Going to – prediction
We often use going to to make a prediction about the future.
Our prediction is based on present evidence. We are
saying what we think will happen. Here are some examples:
 The sky is very black. It's going to snow.
 It's 8.30! You're going to miss the train!
 I crashed the company car. My boss isn't going to be very
happy!
In these examples, the present situation (black sky, the
time, damaged car) gives us a good idea of what is going to
happen.
