--description--

Previously, you saw that, in order to talk about something that is happening at the moment you are speaking, you can use the Present Continuous tense (verb to be + a verb in the -ing form). It is possible, however, to use the same structure to talk about future events that are already part of a schedule. Example: If a doctor says I am seeing a patient at 4., they mean there is a patient scheduled to see them at that time. The event will happen in the future, but it is possible to use the Present Continuous tense to express it.

Listen to the dialogue and fill in the blanks.
