[Grammar] to be doing/be going to/will be doing to

[Marcel7355]

Can you tell me the difference:

1.I'm leaving for Paris next week.
2.I'm going to leave for Paris next week.
3.I'll be leaving for Paris next week.

 

[Rover_KE]

There's no difference.

2 is less common than the others.

 

[emsr2d2]

2 would probably just be said as "I'm going to Paris next week". I realise that that omits any use of the words "leave/leaving" but it's the most natural.

I'm going to Paris next week. I leave on Tuesday.

 

[Marcel7355]

So can I use any of these variants?

 

[Rover_KE]

After reading the two answers above, what conclusion have you come to?

 

[Marcel7355]

I don't know. For me they have very similar meaning. 1 and 3 are the same. First is the plan and agreements, that is fixed and it's 95% that the event must to be done. The second is that you planed before, but you're not sure it will certainly happen (similar to "be supposed to"). But I don't know about third.

Please reread the quote from Rover_KE above.

I got it. But I try to discribe the explanations which are given in local grammatical books and which we had been teached in school.

we had been teached in school.

The past tense and past participle should be 'taught', according to

Not a teacher.
