Difference between “I am going to” and “Again..” I was going to” (later removed)

What is the meaning of English pronunciation in the United States?

How do I know the meaning of “Session”?

Is it true that Ann asked to be in Las Vegas and the office was talking about it or because of her plan, then she says no. I tried to leave. What happened now?

Sentence 2: I was just notified that I am going to be transferred to Mongolia. I have been contacted by Mr. Mohanti who is very helpful with me. Sentence 5: No worries as the transfer process continues at the embassy of Mongolia for the rest of the job. What are you waiting for! My boss and I will talk to the boss on Thursday night, and I can’t do it for free.

What is the difference between a dictionary and a dictionary?

Where’s the best place for Ann to be with her boss (even though she was traveling solo)? When “was going to” is used, does it change the fact that the Ann is going to New York? If I change was going to to am going to, Will it make any difference, will it make sense?

I’m aware that #1 is a very widespread native usage, especially spoken. I won’t be able to deny that I’ve been speaking so poorly of the first two phrases above. Is “Ann said” in past tense the speaker wants to continue with “was going”? What are these words for Ann saying that… she is going to do in February?

Can someone please describe a grammar that #1 and 3 uses well for this purpose? If the situation is that the trip initially planned but then cancelled (or if Ann planned it, then cancelled it) then #1 is okay. Because of the commonness of the bad usage I first mentioned, it may be ambiguous to listeners, though. What matters is Ann spout and the reason

  • for decision. Ann had planned to go there with her boss but had cancelled after learning her daughter had a recital that week. She would have heard much more helpful. It was just my office talking about it. So how can it work?

Should I worry about my question or this question?

I don’t see any problems with the examples in #2 except it should say “to Mongolia” rather than “in Mongolia.”

Sentence 1:

Ann says that she was going to Las Vegas with her boss, and the whole office was talking about it.

Ana said that: On one hand

she was going I see this more likely as a report or something like that. Imagine I am Ana. I am telling you that I am going to Vegas. I want to fly to Las Vegas. After that you tell a friend that I am going to Vegas in reported speech, so you must go one tense behind example:

Present simple = past simple

Present continuous = past continuous

will = would

past simple = present perfect

present perfect = past perfect
