A Was going to
We can use was going to/were going to to talk about changed plans or intentions. Read the short dialogue:
A ‘I’ve decided that I’m going to resign.’
B ‘Don’t do that – I’ve just heard that the management want to promote you.’
A ‘OK, perhaps I’ll stay then.’
When we report this change of plan, we can say:
‘I was going to resign, but in the end I decided to stay.’
B Was doing/were doing
When we talk about an arrangement that has been changed, we can use the past continuous (was/were doing):
I was meeting her on Friday, but she has to go to the States, so I am seeing her next Wednesday instead.
This is similar to was going to, but the past continuous is normally used to report changed arrangements rather then changed plans or intentions.
