Lesson 2 · 35 min

Arrangements: the present continuous for the future

Objective

Talk about fixed arrangements with a time and a place.

The lesson

For an arrangement (a meeting with a time and a place), we often use the present continuous: I'm meeting the manager at ten. We're having a meeting on Friday. Always add a time expression: tomorrow, at 3 pm, on Monday.

Worked example

Monday: I'm meeting the new trainees at nine. Tuesday: we're visiting a garage in Leeds. Wednesday: I'm having lunch with the team at half past twelve. Thursday: nothing yet!
