Present Simple:
for schedule
When an event is on a schedule or timetable (for example, the
take-off time for a plane), we often use the present simple to express
the future. We usually also use a future word (expressed or understood) like
"tomorrow", "at 6.30pm", "next week".
Only a few verbs are used in this way, for example:
- be, open, close, begin, start, end, finish, arrive, come,
leave, return
Look at these sentences:
- The train leaves Detroit at 9pm tonight.
- John starts work next week.
- Tomorrow is Thursday.
