Present Continuous

We use the present continuous to talk about a fixed


arrangement in the future, for example:

• When we have planned something with


Other people
• When we have already spent money.
• We normally mention a specific time.

We're getting the train at 11:20 a.m.


I'm going to the theater with Michelle tonight.
Be going to
We use be going to + base form of the verb to talk
about general plans and intentions.

I'm going to travel around Asia this summer.


We're going to go to the movies this weekend.

We form questions and negatives with going to in the


same way as in the present continuous.
I'm not going to have time to see you.
Are you going to drive to the party?
Will
We use will + base form of the verb When we make a
decision at the moment of speaking.
What can I bring you?

We also use Will to make promises and offers.
