〜つもりだ

🔧 Pattern:

👉 [verb (short, present)] + つもりだ (I intend to do…)
👉 [verb (short, negative)] + つもりだ (to say you don’t intend to do something)

💬 What does it mean?

It expresses what you plan or intend to do in the future.
Also works with the past tense to describe intentions that didn’t happen.

🧢 Example 1 – Positive intention:

• 来週らいしゅうから毎朝まいあさ走はしるつもりです。
  (I intend to run every morning starting next week.)

💪 Let’s be real, it might last 3 days tops… but we always mean it when we say it.

💤 Example 2 – Negative intention:

• きょうは出でかけないつもりです。
  (I don’t intend to go out today.)

🛏️ Introverts, unite — at home.

📅 Example 3 – Past intention that didn’t happen:

• 映えい画がを見みるつもりでしたが、寝ねてしまいました。
  (I was planning to watch a movie, but I fell asleep.)

😴 Classic weekend story.

🎓 Quick Notes:

• Use plain form before つもりだ

• Works with both affirmative and negative verbs
• Past form: つもりでした = “was planning to…”
