2. O’tgan zamonda “was/were going to” (moqchi edi) ishlatiladi. was/were going to o’tgan zamonda rejalashtirilgan-u lekin bajarilmay qolgan ish-harakatlarga ishlatiladi: We were going to take a bus but we went by taxi. Biz avtobusda ketmoqchi edik lekin taksida ketdik.
3. Kelajakda biror ish-harakatning sodir bo’lish alomati hozirdan ma’lum bo’lsa va uning sodir bo’lishiga ishonsak ham “to be going to” birikmasini ishlatamiz. Lekin bu qoidaga ko’ra ish-harakat oldindan rejalashtirilmagan bo’ladi: Look at those black clouds. It is going to rain. Ana u qora bulutlarga qara. Yomg’ir yog’moqchi. I am feeling bad. I am going to be ill. Men o’zimni yomon his qilyapman. Kasal bo’laman shekilli. He is going to fall into the hole. U hozir chuqurga yiqiladi.
