Not planned:

• I’ll meet your boss tomorrow.


(I decided at the time of speaking)
(but Your boss and I haven’t decided on a time yet)
Plan / Arrangement:

• I’m going to meet your boss tomorrow.
• I’ll be meeting your boss tomorrow.

(Your boss and I have scheduled a time to meet,

As you can see from the example above, there are
3 verb tenses that are commonly used:
1. Going to: They’re going to visit her next week.
going to + V1
2. Present Continuous: They’re visiting her next week.
is/am/are + verb-ing
Note: Jab future ke liye is/am/are + verb-ing ka use
kare hain, we usually include the specific time in the
future.
(to avoid confusion with “actions happening at the
moment”)

(right now, at this moment; I am currently doing this)
• I'm picking up my kids from school at 2.
(spoken in the morning, before 2 PM; the action is
still in the future)
3. Future Continuous: They’ll be visiting her next week.
will/won’t + be + verb-ing
(Future ke kisi specific time par koi kaam ho raha hoga)
