going
行く
解説 Definition
going は go（行く）の ing 形です。be 動詞と一緒に使って「行くところです」「行く予定です」という進行中または予定の動きを表します。
Moving or traveling toward a place, especially when used after a form of be. It is the present participle of go and can describe movement currently in progress or, in the pattern be going to, an intended future action.
覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
go（行く）に -ing を付けた現在分詞で、go の語末は発音される母音字 o なので、そのまま going と書き、/ˈɡoʊɪŋ/ と発音します。be going home、be going to school のように be 動詞と組み合わせ、目的地へ向かっている場面を思い浮かべましょう。be going to＋動詞なら未来の予定を表す別の型です。
Going is the -ing form of go. Simply add -ing: go becomes going, pronounced /ˈɡoʊɪŋ/. Picture yourself already moving away from your present place: I am going home. Learn it with destinations such as going to school, going to the park, and going abroad. With a destination, it usually describes movement in progress. Keep this separate from be going to plus a verb, as in I am going to study, which normally expresses a plan or expected future event.
例文
I am going home.
私は家に帰るところです。
She is going to school.
彼女は学校へ行くところです。
We are going to the park.
私たちは公園へ行くところです。

going の語源・成り立ち Etymology
古英語 gān（行く）に由来し、ゲルマン祖語 *gāną に遡る。印欧祖語 *ǵʰeh₁-（去る、離れる）が語源。関連語：go, gone。「その場を離れる」が原義で、移動・進行全般を表すようになった。
Going is formed from go plus the participial ending -ing. Go comes from Old English gān, a Germanic verb meaning “to go or walk,” although its modern past form went developed from a different verb. The ending -ing descends from Old English participial formations and marks an ongoing activity or verbal form. Thus, going literally presents the action of go as continuing, developing, or functioning as a modifier.
