informal speech and writing of non-southerners as well. fixing to means “to be on the verge of or in preparation for (doing a given thing),” but like the modal auxiliaries, it has only a single invariant form and is not fully inflected like other verbs. its form is always the present participle followed by the infinitive marker to: they were fixing to leave without me. semantically, fixing to can refer only to events that immediately follow the speaker's point of reference. one cannot say, “we're fixing to have a baby in a couple of years.” the use of fixing to as an immediate or proximate future is very common in african american vernacular english, and is one of many features that this variety of english shares with southern dialects.   thesaurus home > library > words >
