Hi all! Remember what we have seen in class about how to express Future tense in English.
We can use three different verbal tenses / structures to do so:
PRESENT CONTINUOUS - is used for arrangements (planes organizados)
(+) Suject + BE (am / is / are) + Verb -ING + Complements
She is visiting her grandma this afternoon
(-) Subject + BE neg (am not/isn't/aren't) + Verb -ING + Complements
She isn't visiting her grandma this afternoon
(?) BE (Am / Is / Are) + Subject + Verb -ING + Complements + ?
Is she visiting her grandma this afternoon? Yes, she is / No, she isn't
When is she visiting her grandma? She is visiting her grandma this afternoon.
