The present continuous for future arrangements
The document discusses the use of the present continuous tense to refer to future arrangements or plans. It notes that the present continuous is commonly used with expressions like "tonight", "tomorrow", "this weekend" to indicate plans at a fixed time in the future. It also states the present continuous is more appropriate than the present simple or future forms like "going to" when used with verbs describing travel arrangements like "go", "come", "leave", "arrive". The present continuous emphasizes the pre-arranged nature of the future event being discussed.

Can, could, be able to

COULD is the past form of CAN and is used to talk about general ability or possibility in the past. BE ABLE TO is used for all other tenses besides the present and can be used in the past to sound more formal. COULD and COULDN'T are used for requests and talking about specific instances of ability in the past, while CAN'T expresses certainty that something is impossible or untrue in the present.
Going to for plans and predictions
The document discusses how to use the phrase "be going to" to talk about future plans and intentions, as well as to make predictions when the outcome is obvious.
