    Forming this tense is rather simple: Subject pronoun + the verb "be" + "going to/not going to" and the infinitive of the verb: We can use contractions (e.g., I'm, he's) by combining the subject pronoun (e.g., I, he) with the verb "be". We can also add "not" in front of "going to" to form the negative.
