| We use the present continuous when we have a plan to do something. |
Look at the examples:
| 1 | I am going to the movies on Sunday. |
| 2 | Are you going out this evening? |
| 3 | We are meeting our friends tomorrow. |
| 4 | What are they doing this weekend? |
| 5 | Dad is staying home tonight. |
| 6 | Mom is having tea with her friends this afternoon. |
| 7 | Sarah is having her exams on Monday. She is not going out this weekend. |
| We use the simple present for timetables, trains, programs, schedules, etc.: |
| 1 | The movie starts at 8:30. |
| 2 | The train departs at 6:15. |
| 3 | What time does the train leave? |
| 4 | My class begins at 8 o’clock. |
| 5 | What time does your class begin? |
| 6 | The shops open at 10:00 a.m. and close at 9:00 p.m. |
| 7 | My dad starts work at 9:00 a.m. and finishes at 6:00 p.m. |
