De-B

One of the uses of the structure "I'M GOING TO" is when we want to show that someone is planning to do something.

For example: I'm going to visit my aunt next week.
The Time Expressions are: tomorrow, next week, on Monday, etc.

We use PRESENT SIMPLE to talk about things that happen: ALWAYS, OFTEN, GENERALLY, USUALLY, NORMALLY, EVERY WEEK, EVERY DAY, etc.
We use PRESENT CONTINUOUS to talk about things that are happening: AT THIS MOMENT, NOW, IN THIS PICTURE, etc.

There are more things about these two tenses, but for now we are learning only these differences...and of course, the difference in structure.

PRESENT SIMPLE PS
I always drink coke
YOU never play with me
HE often goes to the cinema
SHE has a shower every day
IT sometimes barks to my friends
WE normally drive to Santiago
THEY study every week

PRESENT CONTINUOUS OR PRESENT PROGRESSIVE PC
I AM WRITING NOW
YOU ARE READING NOW
HE IS STUDYING AT THIS MOMENT
SHE IS SLEEPING..... LOOK!
IT IS BARKING IN THIS PICTURE
WE ARE HAVING FUN AT THIS MOMENT
THEY ARE WORKING TODAY
