gerund as future form

[Daltomaciel]

Hi,

I saw that phrase:

I´m seeing my dentist tomorrow morning. I´ve got an appointment.

and I have a doubt:

Can I use gerund as future form?

or should I say: "I'm going to see my dentist tomorrow morning. I´ve got an appointment."

Hi daltomaciel,

Yes, you can use the present continuous for planned activities in the near future.

I'm not goin out tonight, I'm staying in.

My colleague's going on a holiday next week.

Jane and Joe are getting married in September.
