BE GOING TO for PERSONAL PLANS e.g I'm going to study Arabic in September
PRESENT CONTINUOUS for plans with OTHER people (arrangements , appointments) e.g I'm seeing an old friend on Wednesday
Is this rule correct?
I know that the "going to" form is used for intentions and the present cont for arrangements but I have just found the above rule.....
Thanks in advance
