[FONT=lato, sans-serif]Good morning, teachers!
I feel confused especially when the near future and the present continuous are little different. Would you please help me with the third sentence? Is it correct? Could we always use both of the tenses in the same situation like the sentence 2 and 3 except for go come travel and arrive?

1. I am seeing Peter tomorrow. (Here the emphasis is on the arrangement that already exists.)
2. I am going to ask him to stop borrowing my car. (Here the emphasis is on the intentions of the speaker.)
3. I am asking him to stop borrowing my car this evening. (Here the emphasis is on the plan)
