[Grammar] I retire in two days

[paok1970]

Dear ESL Teachers:

Which of the following sentences is or are correct?

1) I retire in two days.

2) I will be retiring in two days.

3) I retire in two days' time.

4) I will be retiring in two days' time.

If all four are possible, do they mean the same thing?

If so, which would you use or do you prefer?

Also, in your own words, how would you express the above concept?

Thank you.

Welcome to the forum, paok.

They are all correct and mean the same thing.

I would use #2 or #4.

You could also use "I'm retiring in two days", "I'm retiring in two days' time" or "I'm retiring the day after tomorrow".
