e.g. The teacher is always shouting at his class.
C: to make appointments and arrangements using go/come:
e.g. I am going to the dentist at 9 a.m..(not I go)
D: to describe an event that is to happen and where the sentence includes a word/phrase with limited future meaning:
on Monday, on Tuesday etc.. in June, in July etc..

2. In my opinion it is the case D. If I was right that it is the case D, why don't the sentence "don't forget who's taking your home" include a word/phrase with limited future meaning?? |
It is somewhere between C and D. Because the gentlemen took this girl to the dance, he has an expectation/arrangement whereby he will take her home after the dance. This even will happen in the limited future. It is understood that the "taking home" will occur when the dance/evening is over.
