PRESENT SIMPLE AND CONTINUOUS

- PRESENT CONTINUOUS
We can use the present continuous to talk about future plans and
arrangements that have a fixed time and/or place:
They’re coming home for the weekend.
For future plans with the verb to go, we prefer to use the present
continuous rather than be going to:

4
I’m going to the supermarket after breakfast.

- PRESENT SIMPLE
we use the present simple with a future meaning to talk about
programmes, schedules and timetables:
the train from london arrives at 8:30
we also use the present simple for personal plans when they are fixed
like a timetable
helen gets home from school at 16:30
Note that when we are talking about personal plans, we often start with
the present continuous and then give details of the schedule using the
present simple:
We are going on a tour of Italy next month. We start in Venice, then visit
Florence, and finally spend a few days in Rome.

GRAMMAR:FUTURE CONTINUOUS
- we use the future continuous to
Talk about actions or situations at a specific time in the future:
➢ This Time next week, I won’t be worrying about my exams.
➢ “Where will you be living in ten years’ time?” – “I’ll be living in a big city
like London”.

We often use time expressions with the future continuous:

➢ The time expressions can go at the beginning or the end of an affirmative or
negative statement: I won’t be worrying about my exams this time next
week.
➢ If it is at the beginning, we use a comma: This Time tomorrow, I’ll be sitting
on the beach.
➢ The time expression usually goes at the end of a question: What Will you be
doing in five years’ time?

Structure:
I/You/He/She/It/We/They will/won’t be
going
Will I/You/He/She/It/We/They be
Going?
Yes/No I/You/He/She/It/We/They will/won’t
