关于英语 (美国) 的问题

May I ask a question, please?
I'm wondering whether or not it's possible to use "be going to do" or "will" in a when-clause. Are the following example sentences all correct?
1. "When I'm going to be late, I'll call you."
2. "I will give you money when it will make you happier."
3. "I’d like to visit you when you will forgive me."

I think you meant to say “if” instead of “when” in 1 and 2

3) I’d like to visit you when you forgive me

I do not think you can use “will” like this, but you can do it with “be going to”

When I’m going to the restaurant, call them to order our food
He will tell you what he wants when you are going to the park

Thank you very much! That's really good to know!😁
Your examples about "be going to" are helpful too!
And I'm sorry for confusing you because I wrote it wrong at first, actually, what I wanted to know was whether or not it's possible to use "be going to do"(future tense) in a when-clause rather than "be going to"
Would you mind telling me an example if you could use "be going to do" in a when-clause?

I think it is possible, but it will usually sound a bit unnatural

It’ll be late at night when I’m going to that
It’ll be late at night when I go to do that (second sentence sounds a lot more natural)

A lot of the times with “when” you do not need a future tense after it because it is already known. So almost always “when” will have a past or present tense after it, depending on if you want past or future.

When I went to the store (past)
When I go to the store (future)

After this you need a past or future tense if you want to make the sentence longer

When I went to the store, I got some milk.
When I go to the store, I will get some milk

Hope this makes sense, let me know if you want more examples
