Be Going To: Questions

Swap be and the subject to ask about plans.

Examples

  • Are you going to travel?
  • What is she going to do?

Key rules

  • Question form: be + subject + going to + base verb
  • Add a question word at the start if needed (What are you going to do?)
  • Short answers: Yes, I am. / No, she isn't.
  • The verb after going to stays in the base form

Common mistakes

  • You are going to travel? → Are you going to travel?
  • Is she going to goes? → Is she going to go?
💡 Tip: Move be before the subject first, then add going to.
