Could you tell me the use of is/am/are+to+be+ing ?

Hi,
Could you please tell me the use of [is/am/are+to+be+ing] in sentences?
I have once read the following sentence in the book:
Emotion: sad It was like granddad to be saying

And please tell me the use of before with [could+be+3rd form of verb].

I have some confusion about the sentences given below;

Run before it could be late.
Run before I could be late.
Run before I get late.
I am happy to doing this.

Are these sentences correct? I shall be highly obliged if you help me.
