GRAMMAR
〜予定です
plan to ~
Explanation
NOTE
To express a scheduled plan or arrangement, you use 予定です after a verb. This conveys something you have already decided or arranged to do — a concrete plan, not just a wish.
NOTE
You attach 予定です to the plain (dictionary or past) form of the verb. The dictionary form expresses a future plan, while the past form indicates something that was scheduled.
