Hello! How are you today? I hope you are having a great day.

Today, as part of our quick lesson, we are going to look at two Don’t be confused; I’ll show you how easy it is ☺ The two present forms we use for the future are the present simple and the present continuous. Firstly take a look at a short email Eric sends to his mother containing the present simple and the present continuous. Primero echa un vistazo a un breve correo electrónico que Eric le manda a su madre y que contiene el presente simple y el presente continuo. Hello, Mum! Tomorrow I’m leaving for Australia. My plane leaves at 6 a.m. I need to take the night bus to the airport. It leaves the bus station at 3 a.m! I’m staying with some friends of mine for a month, which I’m really looking forward to. I chose to travel now because my exams are in June and I need to study a lot during that time. We are going to tour the west coast of Australia on a yacht with William’s parents. I’ll give you a call as soon as I arrive. Mañana me voy a Australia. Mi avión sale a las 6 de la mañana. Necesito coger el autobús de noche para llegar al aeropuerto. ¡Sale de la estación de autobuses a las 3 de la madrugada! Me quedaré con unos amigos durante un mes, lo que me hace mucha ilusión. Decidí viajar ahora porque mis exámenes son en junio y necesito estudiar mucho durante esa época. Vamos a hacer un tour de la costa oeste de Australia con el yate de los padres de William. Te llamaré en cuanto llegue. Lots of love, Eric The present simple is used to talk about scheduled events.El presente simple se usa para hablar de eventos planeados. Look at some examples from the above text: - My plane leaves at 6 a.m. - It leaves the bus station at 3 a.m. - My exams are in June. The present continuous is used to talk about arrangements or plans that we have made for the future.El presente continuo se usa para hablar de planes que hemos hecho para el futuro.

We also use the present simple after certain words or phrases, for example, “when” and “as soon as”.También usamos el presente simple con ciertas palabras o frases, como por ejemplo “cuando” y “en cuanto”. For example, - When I arrive in Australia, I’ll call you.- Cuando llegue a Australia, te llamaré. - I’ll call you as soon as I arrive.- Te llamaré en cuanto llegue. I hope this has helped you!
