請問一下is going to 的用法?

請問一下is going to 的用法
It is time for school.
He is going to school.這裡的is going to是"將要"去學校的意思
還是"現在正要"去學校的意思
依此類推
She is going to work.
He is going to bed.
How is he going to school?
這些是"將要"怎樣 還是 "正在幹嘛"的意思

印象中 be going to = will
所以我覺得是 "將要" 的意思

"school" is a noun. Therefore it's "be going to + N" = 正在去 + N

"be going to" + V implies future intent:

"He is going to travel"
"He is going to go to school"

"work" can be a noun or a verb, depending on context.

"be going to + V" is similar to "will + V".

"be going to + N" = "be on the way to + N"

Let me add a note. Consider the following conversation:

A: How is your son?

B: Fine.

A: What is he doing?

B: He is going to school.

In the above context, "He is going to school" = "He is a student".

A: Where is he now?

B: He is in the kitchen making a sandwich.
