We use am/is/are + verb ending in -ing for:
Present continuous
Example: They are cooking dinner. (The action is happening right now)
Future
Example: They are cooking dinner tomorrow. (The action is taking place in the future e.g tomorrow, not right now)
Examples of present continuous:
- He is playing tennis in the car.
- I am going to town.
- We are watching television.
- She is reading a book
- You are not listening to me.
Examples of future:
- Dad is going to the supermarket in the evening.
- Hannah is staying after school tomorrow.
- He is playing football next Wednesday.
- She is sleeping over at my house on the weekend.
- I’m not working on Sunday.
When you say that you are ‘doing something’ tomorrow means you have planned/arranged to do something which is why you know what you’re going to do tomorrow.
Example: I am going to the hospital tomorrow. (This means I have arranged an appointment and have planned to go to the hospital)
More examples:
- She is having a sleepover next weekend.
- I am going to Tom’s house on Saturday.
- We are sleeping at grandma’s house tomorrow night.
- My sister is cooking dinner for us on Friday.
- They are baking a cake for dad’s birthday tonight.
- He is going out for his friend’s party tomorrow evening.
When talking about what someone has arranged to do you must NOT use the present simple. You use the present continuous:
- I’m going to Katie’s party. (not I go to Katie’s party)
- She isn’t coming for the sleepover. (not she doesn’t come for the sleepover)
When referring to timetables, programmes, trains, buses we DO use the present simple:
- The bus leaves in 10 minutes.
- The programme starts at 6pm.
