Subject + Verb To Be + Going To + Main Verb In The Infinitive + the rest of the sentence.

These kinds of sentences begin with the subject followed by the present tense of the verb "To Be".

Take into account

If the subject of the sentence is "I", the appropriate form of the verb to be is "Am".

If the subject is

He - She - It

the appropriate form of the verb to be is "Is".

If the subject is

You - We - They

the appropriate form of the verb to be is "Are".

After the verb "To Be", we always write "Going To" which indicates that something "is going to happen".

The main verb of the sentence is always written in Infinitive.

Subject + Verb To Be Negative + Going To + Main Verb In Infinitive + the rest of the sentence.

In the negative form, the structure of the sentence is the same as in the Affirmative one. The verb "To Be" is written in Negative.

THAT IS TO SAY

- Am not ('m not).

- Is not (isn't).

- Are not (aren't).

Verb To Be + Subject + Going To + Main Verb In Infinitive + the rest of the sentence?

In the Interrogative form, the sentence begins with the verb "To Be" and then it is followed by the subject. The rest of the structure remains the same.
