ethan851) I thought you are not going to come.
2) I thought you were not going to come.
3) I thought you will not going to come.
# 3 is not grammatical at all. So it's scratched of the list. # 2 makes better sense than # 1. Scenario: We talked about the party at my house few day

Thanks for the answer. Lets say we have another Scenario:

Scenario: We talked about the party at my house few days back and you were not sure if you were able to make it.
One day before the party I am talking to my same friend and saying "I thought you will not going to come to tomorrow's party". Party will be tomorrow and we are talking about this a day before. Earlier we had talked

ethan85,
Please review my past post. This is # 3.
ethan85One day before the party I am talking to my same friend and saying "I thought you will not going to come to tomorrow's party"
2 problems: your friend still did not commit to coming, did he? And "Will not going" - is not grammatical English.
