In fact, from a grammatical point of view, it is possible, this is not wrong, but in order to To maintain style in the sentence, it is better to omit the second word go. The meaning of the sentence will not be lost, but it will sound better. For example:

But what if we are talking about planned actions for the future? There is a special phrase in English for this purpose: to be going to, which translates as, to get ready to do something.

When learning a new foreign language, a person first masters the forms of the present tense. But life around us does not only take place at the “now” point; sooner or later the time comes to talk about the past and discuss the future. In the case of the English language, many students have questions regarding the use of a particular construction and its features, as well as semantic subtleties in translation. And very often such questions concern the construction to be going to, since it stands at a kind of “junction”, where the Future Simple is located on one side, and the Present Continuous is located on the other. It is related to the first by the described time - in both cases we are talking about supposed future events, and with the second - by the method of education. The verb to be and the verb to go with the ending -ing and then the semantic verb in the infinitive (only the verb “to be” is allowed to change at times, the forms of other verbs, for example, instead of going - gone are considered by the rules as a gross mistake and ignorance of the entire structure).
It should be noted that this formula is most often found in colloquial speech; it can make the language being studied more “alive.” You can also use it to avoid a common speech error that produces talking person who is not a native speaker. The use of will is necessary when we are talking about clearly approved plans, where we should use to be going to. The rules for its use, despite the common fear of saying the wrong thing or making a mistake in speech, are quite simple. So, what should you choose and in what situation?
The basic rule for to be going to
The main difference between will and to be going to is the degree to which the speaker believes that some action will happen in the future. The simple future tense suggests that the person using it believes that some action will happen in the future, but it is equally likely that it will not happen. And the expression to be going to is a signal that the action will either definitely happen (for example, there are a number of obvious signs indicating this), or the speaker shares his plans, talks about pre-planned actions. In other words, either we assume some kind of action, hope for a chance, or we ourselves planned that something would happen, and even took certain steps towards this.
Examples for the rule on to be going to
Let's look at a few short simple examples, allowing you to clearly explain the difference between the use of to be going to and will. When talking about events around us, such as the weather, we can say:
- It will rain. - It will rain.
- Look at these clouds! It is going to rain right now. - Look at these clouds! It's going to rain right now.
In the first case, future rain is only assumed, which may or may not come. Perhaps the speaker simply heard someone say that he would. But there is no complete certainty that this will happen. In the second case, it is known for sure that the weather will change now - for example, because the sky is clouded, the wind has risen, and several small drops have fallen. Something similar happens when it comes to actions.
Talking about your plans using to be going to
An example of a statement about plans and its analysis
- I will buy milk. - I'll buy milk.
- I"m going to buy milk today. - I will buy milk today
In the first case, the speaker could, for example, open the refrigerator and not see milk there. He closed the refrigerator and said that he would buy milk, but it was unknown when he would do it or if he would do it at all. Maybe it was a momentary thought that he forgot to think about a minute later. In the second case, the speaker will definitely buy milk and do it today, and not tomorrow or in a week, because this action was a clear plan that will not be changed in any way. In addition, this structure has a connotation that gives inevitability to the upcoming event.
To be going to - rules of use and features of meaning in the past tense
Grammatically, the use of this construction in the past tense is no different from its use in the Present, but during translation it has one important semantic feature, which will be discussed a little later. So, having decided to talk about plans that took place in the past, the speaker used was/were going to. The rule would seem to be the same, but with an elementary example you can understand that everything is not as obvious as it seems:
- I was going to read a book, but then I started to listen to music. - I was going to read a book, but I started listening to music.
As can be seen from the example, in the past tense the construction to be going to takes on the meaning of a planned action, which for some reason did not happen either in the past or in the present. You should keep this in mind when talking about past actions. If the action was planned and happened, then the sentence might look something like this:
- I was planning to travel and later I did it. - I planned to travel, and later I did it. (This sentence also emphasizes that the trip has been planned for quite some time.)
Additional subtleties
The combination to be going to has conversational form gonna, which can be used exclusively in informal speech, among close friends. And in many ways, this option, like wanna, which replaces want to do for simplicity and fluency, is found more often in American version English language, which tends to simplify. For correct British speech (by “correct” we should mean the speech of the educated population) the use of full forms is more typical.
In addition, there is a verb that is not used with the combination to be going to - this is to go and to come. That is, using, for example, according to the rule going to go is assessed as an erroneous statement. This is due to the fact that verbs that are close in meaning cannot be used in the same construction of this type. Therefore, instead of the structure to be going to, you should use the Present Continuous. Thus, according to the rule going to go is replaced by am/is/are/was/were going:
- I"m going home instead of I"m going to go home.
conclusions
As you can see from the examples above, understanding the difference and correct use will and to be going to not only make the speaker’s speech more lively, but also help convey the necessary shades of meaning. We hope that the rules for be going to with examples helped in understanding the not so easy, but so necessary English language.
There are several ways to talk about plans for the future, dreams, and upcoming events. This is where the rub comes in. After all, it can be both the present tense and the future, and a special construction to be going to. It is the latter that we will talk about.
If you know exactly what you are going to do, then use to be going to, which in Russian (relative to the future tense) will sound like “I am going, I intend.” The action refers to the future, the immediate, almost exact. Our rules and exercises on to be going to will help you see the usage and all the differences from other times.

1. In order not to be confused with Present Continuous ( in the meaning of going - where the process is emphasized), pay attention to the infinitive after to. The first tells where you are going, and the second tells what you are going to do. Well, what can I say, let's look at examples:

The second tense speaks about the intended action, about what you expect, plan, believe, predict future actions, but do not know for sure. Or, if you decide to do something at the moment of conversation, based on the situation, then we use will be. But if your intention was previously far-fetched, then - to be going to.
