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.
- Am not ('m not).
- Is not (isn't).
