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
