Subject + Verb To Be + Going To + Main Verb In The Infinitive + the rest of the sentence.
These kinds of sentences begin with the subject followed by the present tense of the "Verb To Be".
Take into account:
If the subject of the sentence is "I", the appropriate form of the Verb To Be is "Am".
If the subject is "He - She - It" the appropriate form of the Verb To Be is "Is".
If the subject is "You - We - They" the appropriate form of the Verb To Be is "Are".
After the Verb To Be, we always write "Going To" which indicates that something "is going to happen".
The main verb of the sentence is always written in Infinitive.
