Grammar Rule in 30 Seconds

Use 'be going to' for plans you made before speaking and predictions based on clear evidence you can see right now.

  • Use 'am/is/are' + 'going to' + base verb for plans (e.g., I am going to travel).
  • Use it for predictions when you see evidence (e.g., Look at those clouds! It's going to rain).
  • In negative sentences, put 'not' after the 'be' verb (e.g., They are not going to come).

مرور کلی

آیا همین الان به کوهی از لباس‌های نشسته‌تان خیره شده‌اید و فکر می‌کنید: I'm going to do that on Sunday؟ یا شاید در حال چک کردن قیمت پروازها هستید و با خودتان زمزمه می‌کنید: I am going to visit Tokyo next year؟ اگر این‌طور است، شما همین حالا هم در حال استفاده از یکی از ضروری‌ترین ابزارهای زبان انگلیسی هستید.
ساختار going to معمار آینده شماست. ما زمانی از آن استفاده می‌کنیم که نقشه، برنامه یا قصدی جدی داشته باشیم. برخلاف کلمه will که اغلب مثل یک جرقه ناگهانی به نظر می‌رسد، going to درباره چیزهایی است که از قبل به آن‌ها فکر کرده‌اید.
این تفاوت بین گفتن I'll have a coffee (تصمیم در همین لحظه) و I'm going to meet a friend for coffee (برنامه‌ای که از قبل در تقویم شماست) می‌باشد. در این راهنما، خواهیم دید که این الگو در دنیای واقعی چگونه عمل می‌کند؛ از پیام دادن به دوستان تا برنامه‌ریزی برای تماشای سریال‌های نتفلیکس. این ساختار دوستانه و رایج است و روشی است که مردم واقعی درباره زندگی‌شان صحبت می‌کنند.
نگران نباشید، یادگیری آن از کنسل کردن اشتراک باشگاه هم راحت‌تر است.

این گرامر چطور کار می‌کنه

ساختار going to را مثل یک پل تصور کنید. یک طرف پل لحظه حال است و طرف دیگر آینده. این نکته گرامری این دو را به هم وصل می‌کند چون «بذر» عمل آینده در زمان حال وجود دارد.
اگر قصد یا برنامه‌ای دارید، آن قصد همین *حالا* در حال رخ دادن است، حتی اگر عمل در *آینده* انجام شود. به همین دلیل است که برای شروع جمله از زمان حال فعل be (am, is, are) استفاده می‌کنیم. همچنین برای پیش‌بینی‌هایی استفاده می‌شود که شواهد آن را مستقیماً جلوی چشممان می‌بینیم.
اگر دوچرخه‌سواری را ببینید که خطرناک تلوتلو می‌خورد، می‌گویید: He's going to fall! چون شواهد همین حالا قابل مشاهده است. شما حدس نمی‌زنید؛ بلکه آنچه وضعیت فعلی به آن ختم می‌شود را گزارش می‌دهید. این مثل دیدن نوار بارگذاری یک ویدیو یوتیوب است؛ می‌دانید چه چیزی در راه است چون پیشرفت آن را می‌بینید.

الگوی ساخت

1
ساختن جمله با going to مثل درست کردن ساندویچ است. شما به لایه‌های خاصی با ترتیب مشخص نیاز دارید:
2
با Subject شروع کنید (شخص یا چیزی که کار را انجام می‌دهد).
3
شکل صحیح فعل be را اضافه کنید (am, is, are).
4
عبارت going to را اضافه کنید.
5
با Base Verb (فعل اصلی بدون هیچ پسوند و پیشوندی) جمله را تمام کنید.

جدول صرف

فرم مثال ترجمه
Positive I am going to travel. قصد دارم سفر کنم.
Negative She is not going to call. او قصد ندارد تماس بگیرد.
Question Are you going to help? آیا قصد داری کمک کنی؟
Short Form They're going to win. آن‌ها برنده خواهند شد.

سطوح رسمی بودن

- **Formal

** I am going to attend the meeting. (در ایمیل‌ها یا مصاحبه‌های زوم).

- **Informal

** I'm going to grab a burger. (با دوستان).

- **Casual

** I'm gonna watch a movie. (فقط در پیامک یا صحبت دوستانه!).

ترفند حافظه

به «برنامه ۳ مرحله‌ای» فکر کنید: Be (وضعیت) + Going (حرکت) + To [Verb] (مقصد). این مثل جی‌پی‌اس برای زندگی شماست!

کی استفاده کنیم

سه زمان اصلی برای استفاده از going to وجود دارد. اول: برنامه‌ها و قصدها. هر چیزی که *قبل* از لحظه صحبت کردن تصمیمش را گرفته‌اید.
بلیط خریده‌اید؟ I'm going to see Coldplay. دوم: پیش‌بینی بر اساس شواهد. وقتی می‌بینید چیزی قرار است اتفاق بیفتد.
آسمان سیاه است؟ It's going to rain. شما غیب‌گو نیستید، فقط دارید از پنجره بیرون را نگاه می‌کنید. سوم: بسترهای اجتماعی مدرن.
قبل از پست کردن عکس: I'm going to post this on Instagram. در بازی‌ها: I'm going to heal you. اگر می‌بینید چیزی در حال رخ دادن است یا کمی به آن فکر کرده‌اید، going to بهترین گزینه است.

اشتباهات رایج

رایج‌ترین اشتباه فراموش کردن فعل be است. نگویید I going to eat بلکه بگویید I am going to eat. اشتباه دیگر استفاده از شکل اشتباه فعل بعد از to است. همیشه از شکل ساده فعل استفاده کنید: I'm going to buy نه buying. همچنین مراقب باشید برای برنامه‌های از قبل تعیین شده از will استفاده نکنید. اگر به رئیستان بگویید I will go on holiday به نظر می‌رسد همین الان تصمیم گرفته‌اید. و در مورد going to go بسیاری از بومی‌زبان‌ها برای کوتاهی فقط می‌گویند I'm going to the store.

مقایسه با الگوهای مشابه

چطور بین going to و will انتخاب کنیم؟ در رستوران: اگر موقع سفارش تصمیم گرفتید، بگویید I'll have the steak. (ناگهانی). اگر سه روز است منوی آنلاین را چک می‌کنید، بگویید I'm going to have the steak. (برنامه‌ریزی شده).

سؤالات رایج

Q

آیا می‌توانم در مصاحبه کاری از gonna استفاده کنم؟

بهتر است نه. برای اینکه حرفه‌ای به نظر برسید از I am going to استفاده کنید.

Q

آیا جمله I'm going to go درست است؟

بله، کاملاً! اما I'm going to the store کوتاه‌تر و رایج‌تر است.

سوالات متداول (8)

No, `gonna` is only for informal speaking and texting. In homework or formal writing, always use `going to`.

Use `going to` for plans made before now. Use `will` for decisions made at this exact moment.

Technically, that is the `Present Continuous`. To make it the `Going To Future`, you should say `I am going to go to the store`.

Move the `be` verb to the start: `Are you going to...?` or `Is he going to...?`

Yes! You can say `I am going to retire in 40 years.` It just means you have the intention now.

It's a natural way to speak faster. The 'to' sound blends into the 'going' sound.

It describes a plan you had in the past that usually didn't happen. `I was going to cook, but I ordered pizza instead.`

Only if you have evidence. If you just 'think' something might happen without proof, use `will`.
