Future in the Past is used to express the idea that in the past you
thought something would happen in the future. It does not matter if you are
correct or not. Future in the Past follows the same basic rules as the Simple
Future. "Would" is used to volunteer or promise, and "was going to" is used to
plan. Moreover, both forms can be used to make predictions about the future.

Like all future forms, Future in the Past cannot be used in clauses beginning
with time expressions such as: when, while, before, after, by the time, as soon

Past.
