The basic structure is simple: start with a question word (like <span data-no-translation>What<\/span> oder <span data-no-translation>Where<\/span>) or the verb <span data-no-translation>be<\/span> (<span data-no-translation>am, is, are<\/span>), then the subject, then <span data-no-translation>going to<\/span>, and finally the base form of the main verb. It helps you understand and talk about future events that are already planned. Remember, <span data-no-translation>going to<\/span> is for plans you have already made, not for sudden decisions or predictions without evidence.
