En la respuesta no se repite going to.
Preguntar por los planes de alguien
Es la pregunta estándar cuando das por hecho que la persona ya lo ha decidido:
- Are you going to take the exam in June?
- Is he going to sell the flat?
Si lo que quieres es una decisión en el momento, la pregunta pasa a will: Will you help me with this?
What are you going to do
La pregunta comodín sobre intenciones. Compara los tres futuros:
- What are you going to do? — ¿qué has decidido?
- What are you doing on Friday? — ¿qué hay ya acordado?
- What will you do? — ¿qué crees que harías?
Dónde se tuerce para un hispanohablante
«¿Vas a aceptar el trabajo?» se traduce moviendo are, no añadiendo do. Y la respuesta corta es Yes, I am, no Yes, I going.
Las tres preguntas del apartado anterior se dicen casi igual en español («¿qué vas a hacer?», «¿qué haces el viernes?»), así que conviene elegir la inglesa por lo que quieres saber, no por la forma española.
