Using the present continuous
  in English to form future




    Monica Rodriguez Hernandez
Various tenses are used to discuss the future in
English. Here we see how to use the present
continuous to talk about the future.
We use the present continuous to talk about actions
in progress at the moment but also to discuss the
future plan.

Examples:
I am HAVING lunch with a friend tomorrow.
I am visiting Paris next week.
We are Having a party this weekend.
Tips

Will be used to make predictions or expressing
spontaneous decisions can not be used to discuss
plans
The difference between using the future with going
to the future or the present continuous is that going
to just express intentions expressed as the present
continuous fixed plans.
Prepositions of time
It is important to know how to use prepositions of
time correctly in English: in / on / at. Like so much
else in English, which will need to learn that so below
is a list of rules and then a few tricks to help
you. Once you've learned the rules, try the exercise
at the end.
AT
For the times: at 5 o'clock = at five

Party: Christmas at = at Christmas, at
Easter during Holy Week =
at night = night
at the moment = at this time
at the Same time = while
at present = present
at the weekend = weekend
ON
Days of week: on Monday = Monday, on
Mondays = Monday
On Monday morning / afternoon / evening
= on Monday morning / afternoon / night

Dates: on 5th September = September 5

Special Days: On Christmas day =
Christmas day, on my birthday = day of my
birthday

Vacation: (to be) on a vacation holiday

years: i n = 1999 in 1999

seasons: in summer, in spring, in autumn, in winter = summer,
spring, autumn and winter

decades: in the 1990's = in the 90

centuries: in the 19th century = XIX century
morning / afternoon / evening: in the morning = in the morning, in the
afternoon = evening, in the evening = evening

time periods: in A Few minutes = within a few minutes in a week =

evening but not if the day of the week goes
ahead.
