GRAMMAR

Для выражения запланированного будущего (имеется договоренность, план, билеты и т.п.), употребляется PRESENT CONTINUOUS особенно с глаголами, обозначающими движение или действие. В этом случае почти всегда употребляются обстоятельства времени. Эта форма типична для разговорного стиля, а Present Indefinite - для официального стиля.

We’re flying to Paris in the morning.	Мы вылетаем в Париж утром.
We are dining out on Saturday.	Мы обедаем в гостях в субботу.
He is taking his examination on Friday.	Он сдает экзамен в пятницу.

Оборот to be going to употребляется:

1. Для выражения намерения совершить действие в будущем:

We ’re going to get married in June.	Мы собираемся пожениться в июне.
How long are you going to stay with us?	Сколько времени ты собираешься пробыть у нас?

2 Этот оборот также используется для выражения большой вероятности или неизбежности совершения действий в будущем, так как их признаки очевидны в настоящем: (прогнозируемое будущее).

The sky is clearing up; the rain is going to stop in a minute.

Небо проясняется; дождь прекратится через минуту.
