In your sentence 'I am going to read the book tomorrow'
'am' is the finite, 'to read' is the infinitive.
Most of our infinitives end in -en.
to read = lezen
to cook = koken
to eat = eten
to drink = drinken
I am going to read the book tomorrow.
= Ik ga het boek morgen lezen.
N.B.
The infinitive (lezen) stays the same, just like in English (to read).
* Ik ga het boek morgen lezen.
(I am going to read the book tomorrow)
* Hij gaat het boek morgen lezen. (different person)
(He is going to read the book tomorrow)
* Ik ging het boek morgen lezen. (different tense)
(I was going to read the book tomorrow)
