Present Continuous:
for prior plan
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 like "tomorrow", "next
week", "in June" etc. The future word may be clearly expressed or understood
from the context.)
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.

| Sometimes there is no real difference
between an intention ("Going To") and a plan (Continuous Present). In this
case, it doen't matter which we use. |
- We're going to paint the bedroom
tomorrow.
- We're painting the bedroom
tomorrow.
