Future use of the Present Continuous.

Elaboro: M.E.I. Nancy Cruz

El tiempo presente continuo se puede usar no solo para referirnos a acciones que se llevan a cabo al momento de hablar (presente) sino que tambin para hacer referencia a acciones futuras. Para saber en qu tiempo lo estamos usando podemos considerar las expresiones de tiempo. Cuando es una accin en presente usamos: right now (ahora mismo), at the momento ( en este momento). Y cuando nos referimos a acciones futuras usamos las expresiones: next (week, month, year), tomorrow (maana), this weekend (este fin de semana). Por ejemplo:
