I'm going to meet a friend
Explanation
To talk about plans, use "be going to" + the plain verb. The "be" changes with the subject: I'm going to study. He's going to work. We're going to travel. That little "be" (am / is / are) cannot be dropped — the pattern is "I'm going to", not "I going to". To ask, put "be" first: "What are you going to do this weekend?" To invite someone, use "Do you want to + verb?" or "Would you like to + verb?": Do you want to come? — Yes, I'd love to. / Sorry, I'm busy.
Examples
- I'm going to study English tomorrow.I'm going to study English tomorrow.
