It would be "~(으)려고(intension) 했(past tense)다" (~(으)려고 하다 = to be going to do sth) Were you going to hit me? = 나 때리려고 했지?(informal and impolite) = 저 때리려고 하셨죠?(formal and polite) = 저 때리려고 했죠?(informal and polite) (*In casual conversation "때릴려고" is often used instead of "때리려고") Were you going to give me something yesterday? = 어제 나한테 뭐 주려고 했어(or 했지)?(informal and impolite) = 어제 저에게 뭐 주려고 하셨죠?(formal and polite) = 어제 저한테 뭐 주려고 했죠?(informal and polite) Were you planning on calling me when you were in mexico? = 네가 맥시코에 있을때 나한테 전화하려고 했어?(informal and impolite) = 제가 맥시코에 있을때 저에게 전화하려고 하셨죠?(formal and polite) = 제가 맥시코에 있을때 저에게 전화하려고 했죠?(informal and polite) 때리다 = to hit 때리려고 하다 = to be going to hit 때리려고 했다 = was going to hit 주다 = to give 주려고 하다 = to be going to give 주려고 했다 = was going to give 전화하다 = to call 전화하려고 하다 = to be going to call 전화하려고 했다 = was going to call \^o^/
