Geçmişten bakılan gelecek

Geçmişteki bir andan bakıldığında "gelecek" olan şeyleri anlatmak için gelecek zaman yapıları geçmişe kaydırılır.

Şimdiden bakış	Geçmişten bakış	Örnek
will	would	I knew she would be late.
be going to	was / were going to	We were going to visit you, but we got ill.
present continuous (plan)	past continuous	I was meeting Ali that evening, so I left early.
be about to	was / were about to	I was about to leave when the phone rang.

Gerçekleşmeyen planlar

was / were going to genellikle gerçekleşmeyen bir planı anlatır: I was going to call you, but I forgot. (Seni arayacaktım ama unuttum.) Aynı anlamda: was / were supposed to (-mesi gerekiyordu), was / were to have + V3 (resmî).

Türkçeden farkı: Türkçede "-ecekti / -acaktı" (gelecekti, arayacaktım) bu yapıların karşılığıdır. "Arayacaktım ama..." cümlesi neredeyse her zaman "I was going to call you, but..." ile çevrilir. Dolaylı anlatımda will'in would'a dönüşmesi de aynı mantıktır.
