2. GRAMMAR: Present continous for
the future, going to.
We often use the present continuous tense to talk about the future. Of
course, we normally use the present continuous to talk about action
happening in the present, but if we add a future word, we can use it
to talk about the future. (By "future word" we mean words or
expressions like tomorrow, next week, in June. The future word may
be clearly expressed or understood from the context.)
Sometimes there is no real difference between an intention (going to)
and a plan (present continuous). In this case, it doesn't matter which
we use.We're going to paint the bedroom tomorrow.
We're painting the bedroom tomorrow.
3. We use the present continuous only when a plan
exists before we speak. Look at these examples:
Mary is taking her music exam next year.
They can't play tennis with you tomorrow. They're
working.
We're going to the theatre on Friday.
