This is the seventh video in our Siri's lined the tenses and the second video about future tenses.

In the first video, we looked at the differences between when I'm going to and in this video we're going to look at the use off the present continuous tense that's I'm doing for future action and contrast it with going to.

By watching these two videos, you will have a good understanding off the three main forms that they used in English to speak about future actions.

So when you're ready, let's speaking right.

Let's start on contrast, going to future with present continuous with the future time marker traceable.

Just the brief reminder off the formulation off the two forms going to future.

I'm going to do it.

You're going to do it.

He's going to do it, et cetera, and present continuous.

But this time, including a future time marker.

I'm doing it tomorrow.

You're doing it tomorrow.

Hes doing it tomorrow.

End center.

Okay, let's move on to use it.

Let's start with the second usage off.

The going to future that we looked at in the previous video.

Did you remember the second usage Waas talking about a decision or a plan made before the time of speaking.

Let's look at some examples.

My friend wants to see the town, and I've decided to show her around.

I'm going to show her around.

She has decided to study at college.

She's going to study psychology.

He is planning to seek legal advice.

It's made a decision.

Is going to see his lawyer sometime next week.

They want to discuss the matter so they've decided to have a meeting.

They're going to meet soon.

Notice they're all personal decisions or plans before the time of speaking.

Let's have a look at when we use the present, continuous plus future time market that we used this formulation when it's not just your personal plan or decision, but an arrangement or an appointment, it's something you can put in your diary.

Noah.

Let's take the same contexts and see how the tense changes.

So this time you have made an appointment with your friend to show her around the town.

To indicate this, you use the present continuous and say when this is happening in the future.

I'm showing her around this afternoon.

In the second example, she has not registered at college.

It's like an appointment, an arrangement, So we switch to the present.

Continuous.

She is studying psychology next year.

Let's look at the third example.

He has made an appointment with his lawyer.

He is seeing him next Tuesday on the fourth example.

I have now scheduled a meeting.

It's arranged.

It's fixed.

They're meeting at one o'clock.

Two more.

So notice how appointments and arrangements have been made and are no fixed in the future.

Let's look at the two tenses together on compact.

So going to for plans and decisions, usually personal before the time of speaking.

Present continuous, including a future time marker for appointments and arrangements.

I'm going to show her around the town.

It's my plan, my decision.

I'm showing her around the town this afternoon.

I have an appointment with her.

She is going to study psychology.

That's her decision.

She's studying psychology at college next year.

She's not registered for it.

He's going to see his lawyer next week.

That's what it's planning.

He's meeting his lawyer on Tuesday.

He has an appointment with him now.

They're going to meet again soon.

They've decided that they're meeting at one o'clock tomorrow.

They have made an appointment for this meeting, right In a dialogue, you want to ask your question.

With either form, you can ask about their personal plans or about their arrangements, and they can choose the form that best fits their answer.

They will tell you whether it's just the plan or an arrangement.

So you can say, What are you going to do tomorrow?

Oh, what are you doing tomorrow?

If they have an arrangement they can answer with, the present continues.

For example, I'm visiting my parents.

Oh, I'm playing tennis with a colleague.

If they only have personal plans or decisions, they will answer with the going to four.

For example, I'm going to finish my homework.

Oh, I'm going to tidy up my room.

Note that it's best to avoid saying, What will you do tomorrow unless you follow it with the knife?

What will you do tomorrow if you finish your work early, there's one more point to mention to you that's about timetables.

If your arrangement involves an external timetable, then you need to use the present simple to speak about it.

Let's look at some examples.

For example, what are you doing tomorrow?

Next week, et cetera.

Let's say someone says, I'm flying to Geneva and there's a time table.

There's a flight time table.

He or she will have to say My flight leaves at 11.

A.

We're going to a concert next Saturday to give the time.

The concert begins with Switch to Present.

Simple.

The concert begins at 8 p.m. It's looking another arrangement.

She's watching a movie with us this evening to give the time the movie begins.

We switched to present Simple.

The movie starts at 7 30 Another arrangement.

They're arriving by train tomorrow afternoon to give the timetable off the train switch to present Simple.

Their train arrives at 3 15 Pierre, right?

It's time to do some exercises.

Obviously, a common mistake can be using present, continuous instead of going to, and vice versa.

So let's look at some situations and see which sentence sounds better to you.

First example.

Someone says.

Have you booked an appointment with your dentist?

What's better to answer?

Yes, I'm going to see him tomorrow morning.

Oh, yes, I'm saying him tomorrow morning.

Well, as it's an appointment, option B is better.

President continues with the future time marker.

Yes, I'm saying him tomorrow morning.

Let's look at another example.

Someone asks you, What are your plans for this summer?

What's this?

A better answer.

I'm going to decorate my house.

Oh, I am redecorating my house.

Well, it's your personal plan.

You haven't made any arrangements, so a is more appropriate here.

I'm going to re decorate my house.

Next example, someone asks, What are you doing this evening?

Would you say I'm going to have dinner with Jane?

Oh, I'm having dinner with J Be.

Sounds better because it's an appointment with Jane.

She knows about it and our last example.

It's the light broken.

What's the most appropriate answer here?

Yes, the electrician's is going to come tomorrow to fix it.

Oh yes, direct.

Trish in is coming tomorrow to fix it.

Be definitely sounds better because you have an appointment with the electrician's.

He's told you he's coming.

Okay, let's finish our review off.

The future tenses by looking at this table that summarizes they use is off with going to and be doing well for a decision at the time of speaking, going to for a decision before the time of speaking and be doing for an arrangement for an appointment and will for uncertainty, with expressions like, I think maybe probably, and going to for certainty with expressions like I'm sure I'm certain.

Definitely.

Please remember that these aren't guidelines for you to be able to choose the most appropriate form in each situation.

Of course, sometimes both forms work equally well.

But really only a native speaker would know that instinctively.

As a non native speaker, it is useful to follow these guidelines that allow you to be really confident in choosing the future forms.

Well, I hope you've enjoyed this video about future tenses on the previous one.

As you know, What you need to do next is to go on our website tangling dot com, read the explanations again and do the exercises to reinforce all these points.

And I just like to say thank you for watching and see you in the next video.
