Synopsis

What is going on with the English language? Is it true that I can use the present continuous tense to express a future action? Yes, it is absolutely true and in this English tip, Gabby explains how that is done and what it can look like. If you want to sound like a native English speaker follow this tip and others presented by Go Natural English.   A good example of using the present continuous tense for a future action would be along the lines of, “I am playing with the Boston Philharmonic Orchestra next month.” While appearing as the present tense “I am playing”, it actually expresses something that you will be doing next month, and not at the current time. It is always a good idea to add a time frame for this action to avoid confusion and misunderstanding.   Communicating like a native English speaker requires much work, but it should also be fun. Challenge yourself to go beyond textbook English and actually express yourself like a native.   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ns8cI2cdrm0   Episode transcript
