The same structure is used in English and in French to express that something is going to happen in the future: the verb "to go" + the infinitive form of another verb.
Examples: We are "going to study" French . You are "going to continue" your study of French.

In French, just as simple : Je vais+verb
Of course, you wil have to know the irregular verb aller:
je vais, tu vas, il/elle va, nous allons, vous allez, ils vont

A pronominal verb (also called a reflexive verb) is a verb like
se lever, se laver, se dépêcher, se nourrir, s’évanouir, s’évader
which takes a reflexive pronoun (one which refers back to the verb’s subject).
The reflexive pronouns are
| Me | te | se | nous | vous | se |

| 3rd person | se | se |
*me, te, and se become m’ , t’ and s’
before vowels and mute h (See Elision
in the pronunciation guide).
