3. ARRANGEMENTS.

Arrangements merupakan rencana yang sudah dipikirkan dan di bahas dengan orang lain.
Biasanya “Present Continuous Tense” di gunakan untuk menyatakan Arrangements. Pola kalimat
ini adalah bentuk kata kerja yang di gunakan untuk menyatakan rencana yang sedang terjadi
pada waktu tertentu dimasa depan. Jadi sebuah rencana sudah tersusun tapi pelaksanaan
kegiatanya belum terjadi. Pelaksanaan nya akan di laksanakan di masa yang akan datang.
Pattern :

S + TOBE (Is, am, are) + V-ing + O + Adverb time (future)

Note : Adverb of time yang digunakan adalah bentuk future seperti tomorrow, next month, next year,
next time, next day, etc.

Example :

 I 'm meeting Jim at the airport = Jim and I have discussed this.
 I am leaving tomorrow. = I've already bought my train ticket.
 We're having a staff meeting next Monday = all members of staff have been told about it.
 I'm seeing my doctor tomorrow afternoon at 3 o'clock = I made the appointment last
week.
 Denny is starting a new job on Monday. He just had his final interview. He's excited!
(Denny has made all the arrangements at the office and signed a contract.)
 Brad is having a garage sale this weekend. He's put out signs and organized everything he
wants to sell. (He has advertised for the garage sale. It is set for this weekend.)
 Maggie and her pet are going to the vet this afternoon at 6 o'clock. It's time for Her's
annual check-up! (They already have an appointment with the vet.)
 Fred and Joe are traveling to Las Vegas in July. They have their tickets and are very
happy about their trip! (They have already bought tickets and made reservations for a
specific date.)
 I'm meeting Katie in the evening.
 He's flying to Rome in September.
 We're not going anywhere tomorrow.

The difference between an intention and an arrangement is the amount of planning we have
done.
If we only have a general idea of something we would like to do in the future, it is an intention.
In this case, we must use the future with going to.
If we have specific plans, reservations, or an appointment, we are talking about an arrangement.
In this case, we must use the present progressive.
