Grade 8 Grammar Lesson 16 Present tenses for the future
Can we also use the present tense and the present continuous tense for future arrangements?
When do we use the simple present for a future timetable?
When do we use the present continuous for a future timetable?
We use the present continuous tense to talk about something we have arranged to do in the future.
Normally, we don’t use will for arrangements.
We use the simple present tense for a future action based on a fixed timetable, an official programme, etc
But, the present continuous is more usual for personal arrangements.
