Why did we use to be blown up?

Because that is what bombs do to you when they explode .. they blow you up.!

They disintegrate your body.They reduce you to fragments.

Why did we use "going to be"

He probably heard the bomb ticking, and though, Oh, Oh, I'm going to be.............

Hi Sultan,

welcome to the site, I am sure you will learn a lot by this site.

Regular verbs= which are made by adding "ed" like (reach, reached, reached), (walk, walked, walked), (watch, watched, watched) etc

Irregular verbs= there is no specific rule for these verbs like (go, went, gone), (hit, hit, hit), (ring, rang, rung), (catch, caught, caught) etc

for further detail you can see the following links

http://www.englishclub.com/vocabulary/irregular-verbs.htm

http://www.chompchomp.com/handouts/irregularrules01.pdf

http://learnenglish.byexamples.com/main-verbs-regular-and-irregular-verbs/

I hope that these links will be helpful to understand the difference between regular and irregular verbs.

have a good day
