Mike was taking / taked / was going to take his test the week after.

Hello.

What is the difference?

- Mike was taking / taked / was going to take his test the week after.

Thanks.

Hello JE, The version with "taked" is incorrect, in standard English. It's difficult to distinguish between the other two versions, without a proper context; but I would say that the version with "going to" focuses a little more on Mike's intention. Best wishes, MrP
