PrEsEnT AnD fUtUrE TimE
As we know we use the simple present to show actions, events or states that happen habitually or when are talking about an event that is true in general, especially in scientific events.
Examples:
1. John studies at ICPNA every weekday.(habitually)
2. Temperature in Lima is about 21°F(l true in general)
Also when we want to express an action that is in progress we use present progressive, present perfect or present perfect progressive.
For Example:
1. Marcia is thinking about you. (There is something that didn’t finish yet).
2. Nelly has traveled to Italy three times because of her job. (a completed action with a connection to the present)
3. Vanessa has working in Arequipa. (temporary)
In some cases when we want to talk about future actions we can use:
1. I‘ll still love you darling! Even tough we won’t be together (uncertain situation).
2. Teresa is going to travel to Máncora for her vacation. (something that is planned or already developing)
3. John arrives to the airport about 2am (It refers to the future)
But in some cases the present progressive can express a future action that has already arranged.
1. Jhosselyn and Alejandro are traveling to Rome the next month for their honeymoon.
