Intentions and plans in English

by julio perez

Slide 1: Overview

Was going to and would express future plans or intentions, but in different contexts. Understanding when to use each helps clarity in communication.

2

Slide 2: Was going to = planned action

We use was going to for plans or intentions that existed in the past, especially before an event changed things.

3

Slide 3: Example 1

She was going to call me, but the meeting ran late and she forgot.

4

Slide 4: Was going to = near future in the past

The phrase often signals a future action relative to a past moment, not a prediction about now.

5

Slide 5: Would = conditional or future in the past

Would refers to planned actions in the past under a condition, or to future actions from a past perspective.

6

Slide 6: Example 2

If I won the lottery, I would travel the world. In the past, it would have been my dream.

7

Slide 7: Would for offers and requests

Use would for polite offers and requests: Would you like some tea? or I would help if I could.

8

Slide 8: Negative forms

Past negative: was not (wasn’t) going to. Past conditional: would not (wouldn’t) diagnosis without altering meaning.

9

Slide 9: Time indicators

Look for clues: yesterday, last week, at that time. These cue past plans and conditional futures.

10

Slide 10: Quick tips

Choose was going to for concrete past plans; would for conditional futures or polite forms. Practice with varied contexts.
