An

auxiliary verb going to is used in talking about intentions.

Note:
going
to is often used in the past
tense to talk about an unfulfilled intention. Examples: I was going to study
for my grammar test, but I had no time. / He was going to call you, but he
couldn't find his mobile phone. / My grandmother was going to visit us, but she
fell and broke her arm.
