"I am not going to eat the cookies she is going to give me any more."

"I am not going to eat the cookies she is going to give me any more."

Is the sentence correct?Emotion: smile

Or it should be "I am not going to eat the cookies she gives me any more."

Or both are possible but there is a meaning difference?

It is about tense question and I am sorry about the lame sentences and too many questions todayEmotion: embarrassed

Thank you so much as usual for you help and time.

Thank you so much and that's what I thought and then is the sentence never possible?

"I am not going to eat the cookies she is going to give me any more."

I think that this is also possible in some context, right?

What do you think? Thank you so much again.

She has a plan to make cookies and she says, "I am going to give the cookies to you".

So the action will happen in the future so I think that the sentence is also possible

Thank you so much and there is one more question.

So 'any more' in the sentence affects or modifies 'not going to eat', not 'gives', right?

I was kind of confused that the existence of 'any more' makes the sentence "I am not going to

You can't decide to stop doing anymore something that you haven't done yet.

You can decide not to eat
