🔰 Future 🔵 Present progressive for future 🔵 استخدام الزمن المضارع المستمر للتعبير عن المستقبل 1️⃣ Present reality: 🔻We use the present progressive for future actions and events that have some present reality. It is most common in discussions of personal arrangements and fixed plans, when the time and place have been decided. 🔻نستخدم المضارع المستمر للتعبير عن الأحداث المستقبلية التي لها بعض الواقع الحالي. و هو الأكثر شيوعاً في المناقشات حول الترتيبات الشخصية و الخطط الثابتة ، عندما يتم تحديد الزمان و المكان. 🔹⁦🅰️⁩‘What are you doing this evening? ⁦🅱️⁩‘I’m washing my hair.’ 🔹I'm seeing Larry on Saturday. 🔹Did you know I'm getting a new job? 🔹We’re touring Mexico next summer. 🔹What are we having for dinner? 🔹My car’s going in for repairs next week. 🔻We often use the present progressive with verbs of movement, to talk about actions which are just starting. 🔻غالباً ما نستخدم المضارع المستمر مع أفعال الحركة ، للحديث عن الأفعال التي بدأت للتو. 🔹I'm just going next door. Back in a minute. 🔹Get your coat on! I'm taking you down to the doctor! 🔻Note that the simple present is not often used to talk about the future. 🔻لاحظ أن المضارع البسيط لا يستخدم غالباً للتحدث عن المستقبل. 🔹What are you doing this evening? (Not What do you do this evening?)✘ 2️⃣ Present progressive and going to . . differences 🔻In many cases, both structures can be used to express the same idea. 🔻في كثير من الحالات ، يمكن استخدام كلا الزمنين المضارع البسيط و المستمر للتعبير عن نفس الفكرة. 🔹I'm washing / going to wash my hair this evening. 🔻But there are some differences. For example, we prefer going to .. . when we are talking not about fixed arrangements, but about intentions and decisions. 🔻ولكن هناك بعض الاختلافات. على سبيل المثال ، نفضل استخدام going to ... عندما لا نتحدث عن ترتيبات ثابتة ، بل عن نوايا و قرارات. قارن: 🤔Compare: 🔹I'm seeing Jake tonight. (emphasis on arrangement) ◽I’m really going to tell him what I think of him. (emphasis on intention): (Not I’m really telling him ...)✘ 🔹Who’s cooking lunch? (asking what has been arranged) ◽Who’s going to cook lunch? (asking for a decision) 🔻Because the present progressive is used especially for personal arrangements, it is not generally used to make predictions about events that are outside people's control. 🔻نظراً لأن المضارع المستمر يستخدم بشكل خاص للترتيبات الشخصية ، فإنه لا يُستخدم بشكل عام لإجراء تنبؤات حول الأحداث التي تقع خارج سيطرة و تدخل البشر. 🔹It’s going to snow before long. (Not It’s snowing before long)✘ 🔹I can see that things are going to get better soon. (Not ... things are getting ...)✘ 🔻And the present progressive is used for actions and events, but not usually for permanent states. 🔻و يستخدم المضارع المستمر للأفعال و الأحداث المتغيرة، و لكن ليس عادة للحالات الدائمة. قارن: 🤔Compare: 🔹Our house is getting / is going to get new windows this winter. ◽Their new house is going to look over the river. (Not Their house is looking over the river)✘ 3️⃣ Commands and refusals 🔻The present progressive can be used to insist that people do things or do not do things. 🔻يمكن استخدام المضارع المستمر للإصرار على الآخرين أن يقوموا بعمل أشياء أو منعهم من القيام بها. 🔹She's taking that medicine whether she likes it or not! 🔹You’re not wearing that skirt to school. 🔻The present progressive is common in emphatic refusals. 🔻المضارع المستمر شائع في حالات الرفض المؤكد. 🔹I'm sorry - you’re not taking my car. 🔹I’m not washing your socks - forget it! @EnglishGrammarSecrets
