UNIT 7: - TRAVEL

Lesson 4 TIME TABLES

 Present simple for future
We sometimes use the Simple Present form to discuss future events. Especially when talking
about official events that happen at a set time such as timetables, meetings, itineraries, programs
etc.

For example:

Question: - “What time does the train leave?"

Answer: - “It leaves at 17.30."

Question: - "What time does the meeting begin tomorrow?"

Answer: - “It begins at 8.00am."

Question: - "What time do you arrive at the airport tomorrow?"

Answer: - “I arrive at 6.30pm."

1. My plane leaves at 6 in the morning.

2. The shop opens at 9.30.
3. The sun rises a minute earlier tomorrow.
4. My plane is leaving at 8.30.
5. The shop is closing at 7.00.
6. The sun is rising at 6.32 tomorrow.
