Question

Future arrangements - Check your agenda. Have you organized any activities? Describe them saying exactly when they are happening and using the present continuous.(Planes organizados - Chequea tu agenda. Haz organizado alguna actividad. Describela diciendo exactamente cuando sucederán y utilizando el presente continuo).

Answer 1

Respuesta:

We use the present continuous both to talk about things we are doing right now and to comment on what we already have planned to do in the future. Compare:

I'm driving home.

I'm driving home.

I'm driving home next week.

I'm going home by car next week.

Although in both sentences we use the present continuous, in the second we speak of a future action. We see the difference thanks to the time complement next week. Other times we know from the context that we are using the present continuous to talk about the future.
