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