   • Why do we use present simple for future? We use the Present Simple for the Future in order to indicate that a future event is scheduled. Something is “scheduled” when it is on a timetable, written in someone's diary
     • Things that will happen at a particular moment in the future because that's when they always happen: “I start work at 8 tomorrow”
