En español es frecuente que utilicemos la expresión:

"Voy al cine...Voy a comer....Vamos a dormir...." (Ir + a + Verbo en infinitivo)
Si nos fijamos utilizamos esa expresión para referirnos a algo que haremos en un futuro inmediato y planificado. Para un futuro más lejano y no planificado utilizamos el tiempo futuro: Yo iré.... Que es, en realidad, muy poco usado en español.
El equivalente en inglés de "Voy + a + "verbo en infinitivo" es:
"I am going to...." ( Yo voy a...)
