expressing future plans and arrangements

present and future forms

1 We're leaving for the airport around 3.00. I'm meeting Sam at the bus stop.

2 I'm going to have my hair cut tomorrow. She's going to get the last train home.

3 I'll be going to the supermarket later – do you want anything? Will we be having dinner at the usual time? This time tomorrow I'll be flying to Mexico.

4 The train leaves in five minutes. Our classes start next Tuesday.

1 The present continuous is the most common way to talk about arrangements, i.e. fixed plans for the future, when the time and place have been decided.

2 be going to is the most common way to express future plans and intentions and to imply that a decision has been made.

• When we talk about the future from the point of view of a time in the past, we use was / were going to, e.g. We were a bit worried about what the weather was going to be like.

be going to or the present continuous?

In most cases we can use either be going to or the present continuous without much difference in meaning. However, the present continuous emphasizes that a time and place to do something has been decided, while be going to emphasizes the intention. Compare:

I'm seeing Sarah tomorrow. (= it's our arrangement)

I'm going to give her a birthday present. (= it's my intention)

We do not use the present continuous when it is clear that something is only an intention, but no arrangements have been made, e.g. I'm going to talk to Mike about it when I next see him.

NOT I'm talking to Mike about it...

3 The future continuous can often be used instead of the present continuous to refer to future arrangements.

• We sometimes use the future continuous to emphasize that we are talking about something that will happen anyway rather than something we have arranged. Compare:

I'm seeing Sarah tomorrow. (= I have arranged it)

I'll be seeing Sarah at the party tomorrow. (= it will happen anyway, but I didn't arrange it)

• It is often used to make polite enquiries about arrangements, e.g. Will you be meeting us at the airport?

• We also use the future continuous to say that an action will be in progress at a certain time in the future.

4 We can use the present simple to talk about future events which are part of a timetable or a regular schedule.

other ways of expressing future arrangements

1 My sister is due to arrive at 7.30. Can you meet her at the station?

2 My daughter is about to have a baby, so I'm getting ready to go and stay with her.

3 It has been announced that the Prime Minister is to visit Malaysia next month.

1 be due to + infinitive can be used to say that something is arranged or expected at a certain time. This is a more formal style.

• We also use due on its own to mean 'expected', e.g. The next train is due in five minutes.

2 We use be about to + infinitive to say that something is going to happen very soon, but without giving a specific time.

• We can also use be on the point of + gerund with a similar meaning, but this is slightly more formal and implies something is more imminent, e.g. It is believed that the Chancellor is on the point of resigning.

3 We can use be + to + infinitive in a formal style to talk about official plans and arrangements.

10 The shop closes at 8.00.
(Магазин закрывается в 8:00.)

b. Посмотрите на предложения, которые вы отметили галочкой в пункте a. Есть ли разница в значении или стилистическом регистре между двумя формами?

Ответ:

Yes, there are often subtle differences in meaning or register. For example, 'is to open' is more formal than 'is going to open'. 'be due to' is often used for timetables and is also quite formal. 'is about to' suggests more immediacy than 'is going to'. Present continuous ('is retiring') often implies a fixed arrangement, while future continuous ('will be retiring') can emphasize an action that will be in progress or will happen anyway.
(Да, часто существуют незначительные различия в значении или стилистическом регистре. Например, 'is to open' более формально, чем 'is going to open'. 'be due to' часто используется для расписаний и также является довольно формальным. 'is about to' предполагает большую неминуемость, чем 'is going to'. Present continuous ('is retiring') часто подразумевает твердую договоренность, в то время как future continuous ('will be retiring') может подчеркивать действие, которое будет в процессе или произойдет в любом случае.)

c. Дополните предложения, используя выделенное жирным слово.

Ответ:

1 We're about to leave. Could you ring me back later?
(Мы вот-вот уходим. Не мог бы ты перезвонить мне позже?)

2 Her new album is due to be released next month.

3 Will you be going to the canteen at lunchtime? If so, could you get me a sandwich?

4 The ministers are on the point of signing a new agreement.
(Министры вот-вот подпишут новое соглашение.)

5 The manager will be responding to your complaint in the near future.
(Менеджер ответит на вашу жалобу в ближайшем будущем.)

6 Are you going to meet us at the hotel?
(Ты собираешься встретить нас в отеле?)
