Common mistakes to avoid
1. I going to hope ❌
Going to always needs am, is or are before it. Say I am going to hope or I'm going to hope, and she is going to hope. Without the helper verb, the sentence is wrong.
2. I'm going to hoping ❌
After going to, use the base form of the verb: I'm going to hope. The -ing is only on going. Do not mix it up with the Present Continuous of go + a place: I'm going to school.
