Present Continuous for Future
Objective
To understand how to use the Present Continuous to talk about future actions that are under our control.
1. Grammar
We use the Present Continuous not only for actions happening now. We can also use it to express a future idea.
We only use this structure to express situations we can control, like plans, schedules, or appointments.
We must use a future time expression like: tomorrow, next week, on Monday, etc.
If the action is not under our control, we do not use Present Continuous. We use other future forms like idiomatic future (going to), simple future (will), or future continuous.
