19. Present continuous for future arrangements
I'm spending Christmas and New Year with my Mum and Dad.
We could use the present continuous tense (subject +
Be + verb-ing) to talk about future arrangements.
A future arrangement is a plan that you have decided
and organised with another person.

The band is visiting Denmark next May.
I am taking the train to Paris
tomorrow.

20. PRESENT CONTINUOUS FOR FUTURE PLANS
Warning:We don’t use the present continuous when we predict something. Instead, we
use going to or will:
Example:
It’s going to rain again soon.
Not: It’s raining again soon.
