The present progressive
(present continuous)

…………………. can be used to talk about the future when something is already planned or arranged.

Form

am / is / are + verb + -ing

A. Most verbs

Add -ing to the verb.

• play → playing
• visit → visiting
• swim → swimming

Examples:

• We are playing games.
• They are visiting Italy next week.

B. Verbs ending in -e

Remove -e and add -ing.

• live → living
• make → making
• come → coming

Examples:

• We are living in Vienna.
• She is coming tomorrow.

C. Short verbs with one vowel + one consonant

Double the last consonant and add -ing.

• swim → swimming
• run → running
• sit → sitting

Examples:

1. Use: Fixed plans in the future

We use it for things that are already decided and organized.

Examples:

• 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
