One way of talking about something which you predict is about to happen is to use the phrase 'going to'. Example: (Thunder) Take an umbrella, it sounds like it's going to rain We use this form when we have some evidence, for example something we see or hear, which lets us predict something that is about to happen or will happen soon. Example: (Thunder) It's going to rain. In this example you see black clouds, you hear thunder. This tells you from your experience that rain [bad word] it's going to rain. The 'going to' [bad word] is very simple to make. It's the present simple of the verb 'to be', followed by 'going to', followed by the base form of the main verb, that's the infinitive without to. I've eaten too much, I'm going to be sick. She's going to have a baby! Look at that rain! We're going to get wet. So to recap, we use 'going to' to talk about something we predict is about to happen.
