About よていだ
予定だ is an expression that functions very similarly to つもりだ 'to intend to do'. The primary difference being that 予定 is a 'plan', rather than an 'intention'. Due to this, 予定 is used far more frequently for things that you have formal plans to do (like meeting a friend for lunch).
To use 予定, just attach it to the non-past form of a verb, or to a noun (after inserting の).
Caution
If だ or です is not added after 予定, it will imply that 予定 is simply modifying the verb/noun that comes before it, rather than being a standalone 'plan'. This is similar to the difference between saying something like 'I have plans to eat with a friend' (natural), vs 'I have an eating with a friend plan' (unnatural).

@zyoeru Hey! It is not quite the same as つもり which is a dependent noun. Without the copula だ or です, 予定 is simply a noun modified by the verb or noun that comes before it.
行くよてい - “A plan to go” (lit. “a go plan”)
行くよていだ - “(I) plan to go,” “A plan to go is in place/exists,” or “There is a plan to go.” - There is intent/purpose rather than just a kind of plan.Therefore, for 予定 to indicate a presence of intention or plan, it should be attached to the copula だ/です. Cheers!

I believe that this is correct. But the lesson states the modifier relationship inverted, which I believe is incorrect. From the lesson:
If だ or です is not added after 予定, it will imply that 予定 is simply modifying the verb/noun that comes before it
As you say (and I agreed)… 予定 is a “modifiee”… not a modifier as the lesson states. Not a super consequential mistake, since it’s not really part of the point being taught. But still probably best to correct.
