Editing Going-to future (section)

==Origin==
The ''going-to'' future originated in the late 15th century<ref>{{cite web |title=going {{!}} Etymology of going |url=https://www.etymonline.com/word/going |website=Eymonline |access-date=28 July 2024 |language=en}}</ref> by the extension of the spatial sense of the verb ''[[go (verb)|go]]'' to a temporal sense (a common change, the same phenomenon can be seen in the preposition ''before'').{{cn|date=July 2024}} The original construction involved physical movement with an intention, such as "I am going [outside] to harvest the crop." The location later became unnecessary, and the expression was reinterpreted to represent a [[near future (grammar)|near future]].
