Present Continuous for future arrangements

Syllabus topic 8: Present Continuous for future arrangements

Present Continuous for future arrangements. Use the present continuous for a future arrangement, often with a person, time or place already agreed.

How it works

Use the present continuous for a future arrangement, often with a person, time or place already agreed. A future time expression separates this use from an action happening now. Timetables commonly use the present simple.

Examples in context

Notice how each form fits its sentence. Read the context before choosing a form.

  • We are seeing the dentist at ten tomorrow; the appointment is booked.
  • I am meeting Anna for lunch on Friday.
  • What are you doing this weekend?
  • She isn't flying on Monday; her ticket is for Tuesday.
  • The train leaves at six according to the timetable.
