Change your mind

 Past intentions with PAST OF THE VERB TO BE and GOING TO

As a rational human, we can't have the same opinions, feelings, emotions and decisions forever; for that we can have a change about our intentions or plans,

We use the verb TO BE in past Be ➡ Was/Were and the future with GOING TO

Affirmative: Subject + Was/Were + GOING TO + Base form verb + Complement.

Negative: Subject + Was/Were + Not + GOING TO + Base form verb + Complement.

We can also use WOULD, the past of will, and the BASE FORM of a VERB. (Only in a noun clause with the following verbs: Thought, Belived and Said)

Structure: 

Affirmative: Subject + Thought/ Belived/ Said + Subject + WOULD + Base form verb + Complement.

Negative: Subject + Thought/ Belived/ Said + Subject + WOULD + Not + Base form verb + Complement.
