simple future vs simple present #1 (permalink) Tue Jun 23, 2009 10:34 am   simple future vs simple present		  
1) He is here from 12th to 16th of August.
2) I am on leave from 12th to 16th of September.

Can someone please tell me if the above sentences sound natural? Should they be in simple future instead?

The tenses are not unnatural, but you forgot to put the article "the" before "12th".

What does "Ka-Ching" mean? • Is it really correct to say "the most current version"? • Meaning of this sentense: "He must become happy." • less number vs few • Usage of took (I took her to be his daughter but she was his wife.) • Usage of almost (He slipped and almost fell.) • Usage of lot: He has done a lot of hard work. vs He has done a lot of hard works. • Difference: Go to school vs go to the school • Difference between "compare with" and "compare to" • hasn't come or isn't coming • To put you right. • Uncertainties: What are you doing ... Christmas? • I have run the program. vs I have ran the program.
