Unit 20. (I'm) going to (do).
Unit 20; Part A

Unit 20; Part B

We use I am doing (present continuous) when we say what we have arranged to do - for example, arranged to meet somebody, arranged to go somewhere:
• What time are you meeting Ann this evening?
• I'm leaving tomorrow. I've got my plane ticket.
I am going to do something = I've decided to do it (but perhaps not arranged to do it):
• 'Your shoes are dirty.' 'Yes, I know. I'm going to clean them.' (= I've decided to clean them, but I haven't arranged to clean them)
• I've decided not to stay here any longer. Tomorrow I'm going to look for somewhere else to stay.
Often the difference is very small and either form is possible.

Unit 20; Part D

• We were going to travel by train, but then we decided to go by car instead.
• Peter was going to do the exam, but he changed his mind.

You can say that 'something was going to happen' (but didn't happen):
