The future with the pre
This month we are looking at the difference between the present continuous and “going to” to talk about
the future. Read over the explanations, look at the cartoons.
Illustrations by Edgardo Carosia
Present Continuous
When we are talking about
the future, we can use the
present continuous tense to
refer to definite plans to do
something with someone,
or arrangements that we
have made with people.
For example:
a)
I’m playing tennis with
her tomorrow.
b)
We’re having dinner at
9 tonight.
c)
I’m seeing John tonight
at 6pm.
d)
She is playing tennis
with Paul tomorrow.
It is also very common
to use this structure
with verbs of movement.
For example:
a)
They are coming to
the pub tonight.
b)
They are going away for
their summer holidays.
The future with
“Going to”
We use “going to” to refer
to something that we think
will happen at some time in
the future. It is often based
on evidence. For example
a)
I think the wall is
going to fall down.
(I can see that the wall
is very old)
b)
Prices are going to
increase. (I know that
inflation is high this
year)
c)
It is going to rain.
(I can see a big black
cloud in the sky)

In many cases there is no difference
between “going to” and the
present continuous to talk about
the future. Look at these pairs of
sentences that have almost identical
meanings:
a)
I am playing tennis with her
tomorrow.
b)
I am going to play tennis with
her tomorrow.
a)
We are having dinner at 9.
b)
We are going to have dinner
at 9.
However, when there is no plan
to do something with another
person, and we are not referring to
a specific time in the future, the
present continuous is not possible.
Have a look at these sentences:
a)
The wall is falling down.
b)
Prices are increasing.
In these sentences the present
continuous is used to describe an
activity in progress now. In the
examples above there are no other
people involved, and there are
no time expressions; as such, the
sentences are not referring to any
type of future. Now look at these
sentences and compare them to the
ones above:
a)
The wall is going to fall down.
b)
Prices are going to increase.
These two sentences with “going to”
are referring to things you think will
happen in the future.
Advanced Note
Finally, it is not usually possible
to use the present continuous in
conditional sentences. If you want
to refer to a future result, you have
to use “going to”. For example:
a)
If you help me now, I am going
to give you a big kiss. It is not
possible to say, “I am giving…”
b)
If she gets up early, she is
going to arrive on time. It is
not possible to say, “She is
arriving…”
