用法說明
How is "Going" different from similar structures?What usage mistakes are common with "Going"?
going to do vs going doing
- going to do 表示一個未來的意圖、計畫或預測。它是一個助動詞結構，用來談論即將發生的事情。
- going doing 則是一個動詞片語，其中 "going" 是主要動詞，表示「去（某處）」，而 "doing" 是動名詞，描述去那裡的目的或活動。
- 簡單區分：going to + 動詞原形 談論「將要做某事」；going + 動名詞 談論「去（某地）做某事」。
對比例句： EN: I'm going to study at the library tonight. 翻譯: 我今晚打算在圖書館讀書。
EN:I'm going shopping at the mall this afternoon.
翻譯:我今天下午要去購物中心購物。
總結建議
當表達未來計畫或意圖時，使用 going to + 動詞原形；當描述「前往某處進行某活動」時，則使用 going + 動名詞。

引述
在引述他人即將或正在進行的動作時，常用「going to」或「going」的進行式來轉述，語氣較為生動。 EN: She was like, "I'm going to tell him everything tomorrow." 翻譯: 她當時就說：「我明天要把一切都告訴他。」
EN:He said he's going for a run, but I think he just wants some quiet time.
翻譯:他說他要去跑步，但我覺得他只是想要一點獨處的時間。
語氣強調
在口語中，常透過重讀「going」或拉長發音來強調決心、肯定或對未來的預期。 EN: I am GOING to finish this project tonight, no matter what. 翻譯: 我「一定」要在今晚完成這個專案，不管怎樣。
EN:It's going to be huge! You just wait and see.
翻譯:這「絕對」會超轟動的！你等著看吧。
停頓填充
在思考下一句話或組織想法時，「I'm going to...」或「We're going to...」常被用作口語中的填充詞，有時後續的具體行動可能不明確或會改變。 EN: So, for the next step, we're going to... uh... maybe review the data first. 翻譯: 所以，下一步呢，我們要…呃…或許先檢視一下數據。
EN:I'm going to... you know what, let's just order pizza instead.
翻譯:我本來要…哎，算了，我們還是叫披薩好了。
正式書寫注意：在正式書面語（如報告、論文、正式信件）中，應避免將「going to」用作填充詞或過於隨意的引述。通常會直接使用「will」、「intend to」、「plan to」等更明確、正式的措辭來表達未來意圖。

常見錯誤
What are common mistakes with "Going"?Which "Going" sentences look correct but are wrong?
×I going to the store.
✓I am going to the store.
使用 'going to' 表示未來意圖或現在進行時，必須搭配適當的 be 動詞 (am/is/are)。
×I'm going to shopping.
✓I'm going shopping.
當 'go' 與動名詞 (gerund) 搭配表示進行某項活動時（如 go shopping, go swimming），'to' 是多餘的。
×I will going to call you.
✓I am going to call you. / I will call you.
'be going to' 本身就是表示未來的結構，不應與 'will' 同時使用。兩者擇一即可。
×Are you going to home?
✓Are you going home?
當 'home' 作為副詞使用時（表示方向或目的地），前面不加介系詞 'to'。
×The movie is going to start soon, isn't it?
✓The movie is going to start soon, isn't it? (但更自然的說法是：The movie is going to start soon, isn't it? 或 The movie is going to start soon, right?) 注意：附加問句應與主要子句的 be 動詞一致。
使用 'be going to' 的句子，其附加問句 (tag question) 應與前面的 be 動詞一致，而非與 'going' 一致。
×I'm going to must finish this.
✓I'm going to have to finish this. / I must finish this.
'be going to' 後面應接動詞原形，不能直接接情態動詞 (must, can, should 等)。若要表達未來必須做某事，可用 'be going to have to'。
