PRESENT CONTINUOUS FOR FUTURE EVENTS 1. Present continuous for the future, form See notes on form in section on Present Continuous. Subject She + to be is + base-ing meeting

2. Future: Present continuous for the future, function The present continuous is used to talk about arrangements for events at a time later than now. There is a suggestion that more than one person is aware of the event, and that some preparation has already happened. e.g. a. I'm meeting Jim at the airport = and both Jim and I have discussed this. b. I am leaving tomorrow. = and I've already bought my train ticket. c. We're having a staff meeting next Monday = and all members of staff have been told about it. More examples: a. Is she seeing him tomorrow? b. He isn't working next week. c. They aren't leaving until the end of next year. d. We are staying with friends when we get to Boston. Note: in example (a), seeing is used in a continuous form because it means meeting. BE CAREFUL! The simple present is used when a future event is part of a programme or time-table. Notice the difference between: a. We're having a staff meeting next Monday. b. We have a staff meeting next Monday.(= we have a meeting every Monday, it's on the time-table.)

The Present Continuous Tense - When to use

1. We use the Present Continuous Tense to talk about activities happening now. Examples The kids are watching TV. I am sitting down, because I am tired. I am not learning German, because this is an English class. Who are you writing to? 2. We can also use the Present Continuous Tense to talk about activities happening around now, and not necessarily this very moment. Examples Sally is studying really hard for her exams this week. I am reading a really interesting book now. How are you brushing up on your English for the trip? We aren't working hard these days. 3. The Present Continuous Tense is also used to talk about activities happening in the near future, especially for planned future events. Examples I am seeing my dentist on Wednesday. Polly is coming for dinner tomorrow. Are you doing anything tonight? We aren't going on holiday next week.
