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".
