Another future:Going-to future is commonly used when you want to refer to something that is going to happen in the immediate future (predictions with present evidence).

It is also used for talking about intentions or plans.

It is formed with the verb 'be' pertinently conjugated, followed by 'going to' and the base form of the verb (infinitive). For example:
Is it going to rain this afternoon?
Are you going to learn English?
Short answers are formed by Yes or No plus the subject pronoun and the affirmative or negative auxiliary.

To ask a wh-question just add the wh-particle (question word) in front of the auxiliary at the beginning:
What are you going to do in May?
Where are you going to spend your holidays?
How are you going to travel?
For negatives, you should use the verb 'be' in its negative form, followed by 'going to' and the base verb form:
I'm not going to play football today.
She is not going to come with us.
