@TatianaUA 'I'm going to' is used more frequently in general. It's used for 'I'm going to <location> and 'I'm going to <action>'. It's also used in written English. However, 'I'm off to...' is still very common in conversational English.

@RossLeicester @Divine117 Will "I am off to work" be considered as present continuous? (I am going to work is present continuous)

@rayhan99999 Usually we say it as we are leaving the house. So, 'I'm leaving for work.' would be a synonym. So would 'I'm going to work now.'
Hard do say, but it's at least a very similar meaning.

@RossLeicester So "I am off to work" means I am leaving for work. But, will it be present indefinite or present continuous?
