■ GRAMMAR (Present Continuous)

A

We use am/is/are + -ing (present continuous) for something happening now.

n        “Where are Sue and Amanda?” “They’re playing tennis in the park.”

n        Please be quiet! I’m working.

We also use am/is/are + -ing for the future (tomorrow/ next week, etc)

n        Andrew is playing tennis tomorrow.

n        I’m not working next week.

B

I am doing something tomorrow = I have arranged to do it, I have a plan to do it.

n        Blanca is going to the dentist on Friday.

(=She has an appointment with the dentist.)

n        We’re having a party next weekend.

n        Are you meeting Bill at the movies tonight?

n        What are you doing tomorrow night?

n        I’m not going out tonight. I’m staying at home.

You can also say, “I’m going to do something”

n        I’m staying at home tonight. (not I stay)

n        Are you going out tonight? (not Do you go)

But use the simple present for schedules (buses, movies, classes, etc)
