MaterialSimple FutureWhen we refer to the future, we can express it by using:

be going to (for intention, plans and outcomes that you’ve made) or will/won't (for prediction/ process of making decision about future).

I am going to visit my friend this evening.I think it will rain tomorrow.

Pattern of SIMPLE FUTURE:a. are/am/is + going to + Infinitiveb. wil + infinitive

After I graduate, I am going to continue my study at Monash University in Melbourne.

It's eight o'clock-it'll be dark in half an hour.

Future in the Past When we want to talk about someone's intentions/plans/decisions/future events in the past, we use the past form of ‘be going to’.When we want to talk about predictions in the past, we use ‘would/wouldn't’

I was going to visit my friend that evening.I thought it would rain the next day

Pattern of PAST FUTURE:a. Was/were + going to + infinitiveb. Would/ wouldn’t + infinitive

I was going to tidy my room last night, but Belinda phoned me and then I forgot.

We didn't know what time he was going to arrive, so we couldn't go anywhere yet waiting.

I knew I would pass my driving test first time and I did. When we planned the picnic, we were sure it wouldn't rain, in fact,

we were wrong.

In addition, we also use ‘was/were going to’ to say that the planned future action didn't happen:

I was going to visit my uncle in Nagoya last summer, but I couldn't afford a ticket.

I was going to wash the dishes, but there wasn't enough time.

Note:Eventhough future in the past follows the same rules as other future tenses, it cannot be used in clauses beginning with time expressions such as: before, after, by the time, as soon as, if, etc. Instead of using future in the past, you must use the past simple. I told him that as soon as we would get there, we would buy a drink. (incorrect)

I told him that as soon as we got there, we would buy a drink. (correct)

In short, we say that1. was/were going to is used for

plans/decisions/intentions/future events with present evidence2. would is used for predictions.
