Present continuous #2 (permalink) Sun Feb 27, 2005 11:54 am   Present continuous
 

You can use present continuous (you are coming) when you know the time of the event. For example:

I'm glad that you are coming to my house next Friday at 8 pm.

Hello!

Can you please give me a grammar reference for above mentioned, e.d. why we have to use Present Simple in "Next time you come to my house"

Thanks!

I'm not a native, but I would hazard a hypothesis: when the tense of the governing clause is present or future, the time clause which expresses something happening prior to or at the same time as something else requires the present tense. Can some native English speaker confirm this assumption of mine? Thank you

now I get it, so it is simple present because I do not know the exactly time that is going to happen the event?
