GRAMMAR LOOK 2.
PRESENT SIMPLE WITH FUTURE MEANING
We can use Present Simple to talk about timetables in the future.
We use the Present Simple for the Future in order to indicate that a future event is scheduled.
Something is “scheduled” when it is on a timetable, written in someone’s diary…
Some examples would be:
Transport: “The train leaves at 10pm”
Entertainment: “The film starts at 7pm”
Scheduled plans: “I leave for Panama next week”
Things that will happen at a particular moment in the future because that’s when they always happen: “I start work at 8 tomorrow”
