    The document discusses the present progressive tense and how it is used to talk about future events that have already been planned or scheduled. Some examples are provided such as "I'm meeting Jim at the airport" and "We're having a staff meeting next Monday." It notes that the present progressive is not used to predict future events, and for predictions the future tense using "going to" or "will" should be used instead, such as "It's going to rain again soon."

    PRESENT

    PROGRESSIVE
    As future
    How can we use it?
    When you expect something happen in a future.

    • I'm meeting Jim at the airport = Jim y yo hemos quedado en eso.


    • I am leaving tomorrow. = Ya he comprado el billete de tren.
    • We're having a staff meeting next Monday = se ha comunicado a todos los
    miembros del personal.
    • The band is visiting Denmark next May.
    • I am taking the train to Paris tomorrow.
    We don’t use the present continuous
    when we predict something. Instead,
    we use going to or will:
    Example:
    WARNING! ◦ It’s going to rain again soon.

    ◦ Not: It’s raining again soon.
