a present tense with a future meaning: This is Tom’s schedule for next week. He is playing tennis on Monday afternoon. He is going to the dentist on Tuesday morning. He is having dinner with Ann on Friday. In all these examples, Tom has already decided and arranged to do these things. When you are talking about what you have already arranged to do, use the present continuous. A: What are you doing tomorrow evening? B: I’m going to the theater. A: Are you playing tennis tomorrow? B: Yes, but Tom isn’t playing. He hurt his leg. It is possible to use going to do in these sentences: What are you going to do tomorrow evening? Tom is going to play tennis on Monday afternoon.

Do not use will to talk about what you have already arranged to do. b simple present with a future meaning: When we are talking about timetable, schedule, etc.(for example, public transportation, movies): What time does the movie begin? The train leaves Boston at 7:25a.m. And arrives in Washington, D.C., at 3:41p.m. The football game starts at 2:00. Tomorrow is Wednesday. But we do not use the simple present for personal arrangements. Going to a when we say what we have already decided to do, or what we intend to do in the future A:There is a movie on television tonight. Are you going to watch it? B: No, I’m too tired. I’m going to make it an early night A: I hear Ann has won a lot of money. What is she going to do with it. B: I’ve heard she’s going to travel around the world. b we prefer to use the present continuous when we say someone has arranged to do - for example, arranged to meet someone, arranged to travel somewhere. Going to is also possible. What time are you meeting Ann?(or are you going to meet) I’m leaving for Europe on Monday.(0r I’m go
