Hello all!
I am a big fan of Federer whose English is really good. But the thing which confuses me a bit is that he uses: I am excited to play for future meaning e.g. when he is excited to play Hewitt tonight.
Why does it confuse me a bit?
My native speaker from America told me I can use it this way:
1) -I am excited to play - in general e.g. I am excited to play at Wimbledon (not now but every year...it excites me)
2) -I am excited to be playing - right now, or in the future
My teacher from the Czech Republic agrees with him but still I am curious to know if I really can´t use (1) for future meaning or when it is happening right now. If yes would it be grammatically correct?
Thank you!
