Future Arrangements

Future Arrangements Present Continuous We use the present continuous tense to talk about future arrangements, plans that have been made at a specific time or place in the future. For example, "I'm having lunch with Michaela at 12" or "I'm playing tennis with Rob tomorrow afternoon." Either the present continuous ("I'm having lunch") or "be going to" ("I'm going to have lunch") can be used, with no difference in meaning. The present continuous is commonly used with expressions like "tonight, tomorrow, this weekend" when talking about travel plans involving verbs like "go, come, leave, arrive," such as "I'm leaving on Monday."
