Present Simple for Future Timetables

Use for scheduled events.

Examples

• The train leaves at 6.

Key rules

• Use present simple for fixed schedules: trains, classes, films
• Often with a future time word
• Do not use it for personal plans, use present continuous
• It sounds certain

Common mistakes

• The train will leave at 6 → The train leaves at 6
• The film is starting at 9 (timetable) → The film starts at 9
