Future Simple and Present Continuous are two ways to talk about the future in English. Future Simple: Use "will" + base form of the verb. Examples: - I will go to the store. - She will finish her project. Use Future Simple when: - Making a spontaneous decision (e.g., "I will help you.") - Making predictions (e.g., "I think it will rain.") - Stating future facts (e.g., "The sun will rise tomorrow.") Present Continuous: Use "am/is/are" + verb+ing. Examples: - I am meeting my friend tomorrow. - They are traveling to New York next week. Use Present Continuous when: - Describing a fixed plan or arrangement (e.g., "We are having dinner at 7 PM.") - Talking about an event that has already been scheduled (e.g., "She is starting her new job next month.")
