| I'm very confuse "I'm going to" which is a modal or a future tense? How can I clarify between them? Thanks Tigerboy |

| It's neither. It's really a present progressive which is being used to talk about future time. http://www.usingenglish.com/glossary/modal.html http://www.usingenglish.com/glossary/tense.html |
