English speakers often use the present continuous tense (subject + = verb-ing) to talk about future arrangements. A future arrangement is a plan that you have decided and organised with another person.
Im spending Christmas and New Year with my Mum and Dad. Were meeting Susan at 3 oclock tomorrow afternoon.
Sometimes the arrangement is between a person and a group of people, or an organisation or company:
Im working over the New Year. (this arrangement is between Alice and her employer)
They are flying to New York tomorrow morning. (they have made this arrangement with the airline)
It is not always necessary to state who the arrangement is with. For example, Tim says: So what are we all doing at Christmas?
Im popping over to Poland for a few days. Im looking forward to a nice cosy Christmas.
Alice and Helen understand that Tim is talking about arrangements, even though he does not say who the arrangements are with.
Present continuous for things which you are about to start doing
以现在进行式表示即将从事之动作
English speakers often use the present continuous tense to talk about things they are about to start doing. This is especially common with verbs of movement, such as go, come, leave etc.
Im going to bed now - goodnight. Will you help me finish the housework? - Sorry, I cant, Im leaving for work now.
