EQUIVALENCIA CON LOS TIEMPOS VERBALES EN CASTELLANO Un uso especial del Present Continuous or Progressive es para referirnos a nuestros planes o intenciones. En este caso, el Present Continuous or Progressive va acompañado de una referencia de tiempo futura ( tomorrow= mañana; next weekend= el fin de semana que viene). En este caso, el Present Continuous se traduce con la perífrasis: ir a hacer algo. Example: What are you doing tomorrow evening? ¿Qué vas a hacer mañana por la noche? Tomorrow evening I’m going out for dinner Mañana por la noche voy a cenar fuera
