I am playing tennis tomorrow

Grammar notes

Plans Already on the Calendar (Present Continuous: Future)

You can use the present continuous to talk about future plans.

This works well when something is arranged: a meeting, a trip, a lesson, or a plan for tonight.

The form is the same as for actions happening now, but the time phrase points forward.

• Example: I am meeting Sam tomorrow.
• Example: They are flying on Friday.

Quick Rule

• am / is / are + verb-ing
• use a future time word to show the plan

Same grammar, new time. The calendar does the extra work.
