Volitional Form + とおもっています

from Japanese Grammar Tips · host Yuya Sato

In this lesson, I will show you the use of volitional form in conjunction with とおもっています. When you use the volitional form plus とおもっています, you can express your willingness or decision. <Example Sentences> きょう なに を たべます か。 What are you going to eat today? ハンバーガー を たべよう とおもっています。 I'm going to eat a hamburger. ハンバーガー を たべよう とおもいます。 I'm going to eat a hamburger. *When you use おもっています, it tend to imply that the decision has been already made. *When you use おもいます, it implies the decision has been just made at the time of speaking. ハンバーガー を たべる とおもいます。 I think I will eat a hamburger. よるごはん は なに を つくります か。 What are you going to cook for dinner? カレー を つくろう とおもいます。 I'm going to cook curry. カレー を つくろう とおもっています。 I'm going to cook curry.
