 Future in the Past is used to express the idea that in the past you thought

something would happen in the future. It does not matter if you are correct or
not.
 Future in the Past follows the same basic rules as the Simple Future.
 "Would" is used to volunteer or promise.
 "Was going to" is used to plan. Moreover, both forms can be used to make
predictions about the future.
Examples:
 I told you he was going to come to the party. PLAN
 I knew Julie would make dinner. VOLUNTARY ACTION
 Jane said Sam was going to bring his sister with him, but he came alone. PLAN
 I had a feeling that the vacation was going to be a disaster. PREDICTION
