    Lina and Salas are sister and brother. They live with their mother and father on a small farm. Their parents are busy farmers. They grow vegetables and collect fresh eggs every day.

    Lina and Salas go to school from Monday to Friday.

    After school, they help their parents. Lina carries water to the chickens. Salas washes the vegetables and puts them into big boxes.

    Their grandparents live near the farm. They have four friendly cows. Sometimes Lina and Salas visit them after school. They help feed the cows and drink fresh milk. The grandparents are kind and tell funny stories. They also have a small garden with beautiful flowers.

    On Saturdays, the family works together on the farm. In the evening, everyone eats dinner together. They talk about school, the animals, and the farm. Everyone is tired, proud, and happy.

    The Secret Garden is a story by Frances Hodgson Burnett. It is about a girl named Mary Lennox.

    Mary is a young girl. At the start, she is not happy. She lives in India with her rich parents, but they are always busy. They do not take care of her. Mary feels lonely and often behaves rudely.

    One day, a sickness spreads in India. Many people get sick. Mary’s parents die. Mary becomes an orphan. She has no family in India.

    Mary goes to England to live with her uncle, Mr. Craven. He lives in a big house called Misselthwaite Manor. The house is old and quiet. Mary feels lonely again.

    At the house, she meets Mrs. Medlock, the housekeeper. She is strict. Mary learns that her uncle is often away because he is sad about his wife’s death.

    Mary spends time outside. She enjoys the garden. She hears about a secret garden that is locked and not used.

    Mary becomes curious. She looks for the garden. A robin bird helps her find a key and a hidden door. Mary opens the door and finds the secret garden.

    The garden is empty and wild. Mary decides to care for it. She cleans it and plants seeds. She goes there every day.

    Slowly, Mary becomes happier and kinder. The garden also becomes beautiful again. Flowers grow.

    Mary meets a boy named Dickon. He loves animals and plants. He helps Mary in the garden. They become friends.

    Mary also finds her cousin Colin. He is sick and stays in bed. He thinks he cannot walk.

    Mary tells Colin about the garden. Colin wants to see it. Mary and Dickon take him outside.

    Colin feels happy in the garden. He comes many times. He becomes stronger and starts to walk again.

    At the end, Mr. Craven comes home. He is surprised to see Colin walking and happy. He also sees the beautiful garden.

    The secret garden changes many lives. Mary, Colin, and the garden all become healthy and happy.

    • I am meeting my friend tomorrow.
    • She is flying to Berlin next week.
    • We are having dinner at 6 pm.

    👉 These are not spontaneous ideas — they are planned.


    2. Time expressions are usually needed

    We often say when the action will happen:

    • tonight
    • tomorrow
    • next week
    • at 5 pm
    • on Monday

    Example:

    • They are playing football on Saturday.

    3. Difference from “will”

    Present progressive = planned

    • I am visiting my grandma tomorrow. (already planned)

    will = decision made now / prediction

    • I think I will visit my grandma tomorrow. (decided now)

    4. Important idea

    We use present progressive for the future when the plan is:

    • organized
    • already arranged
    • usually with other people involved
