⭐️The occurrence of be going in if-clauses⭐️


📕1- Be going can appear in if-clauses as in the example:

🔻 If you're going to lose your temper, I'm not going to/won't play. ✔️

⏩ In the example above the present focus of is going in the if-clause is evident from the fact that the most salient contextualisation is one where you have already shown signs of, or started, losing your temper, will would be very unnatural in this example.

🔻 If you will lose your temper, I'm not going to/won't play.✖️


📗2- Be going also occurs as an alternative to quasi-model be in goal/purpose-oriented conditionals:

🔻 If we are going to get there on time we must leave immediately; will is quite impossible in this sense.
