Future in the Past has two different forms in English: "would" and "was going to." Although the two forms can sometimes be used interchangeably, they often express two different meanings. When BE GOING TO is used in the past tense, it refers to something that was going to happen but in the end it did not happen. Examples: I was going to call you but I lost your phone number. It was going to rain but suddenly the sun appeared. We were going to buy a new TV but then we changed our minds.
