Both the simple present and present continuous can be used for expressing future action, but each should be used with a/the time frame.

Please no comma here explain the difference between these two sentences:

1. I leave for Paris tomorrow.
2. I'm leaving for Paris tomorrow.

Is the first one correct?

Thank you very much. We end sentences with a punctuation mark, not an emoticon.

[STRIKE] ) [/STRIKE] Don't try to make your own emoticons. If you really need one, click on the :) button and choose one.

It's [STRIKE]extremally[/STRIKE] extremely useful. Note the correct spelling. If you set the spellchecker in your browser to English, it will highlight spelling errors so you can correct them before you post.

Please see my corrections and comments above.

Note that, in future, there is no need to write a post to say "Thanks" to anyone. Simply click on the "Thank" button on the relevant post. It saves time for everyone.
