注意：在这种结构后也可跟go,come这类词：

假期你准备去哪里

他们准备和我一道去。
1) come, go, stay, arrive, leave 等词的现在进行时经常用来表示将来确切的计划。
如： I’m leaving tomorrow.
我明天走。

他们下个月结婚。
Are you meeting Bill this evening
你今晚将和比尔见面吗
考点说明：come，go，leave，arrive，start，fly，drive等严格按照时间表发生的表"起、止"的动词可用现在进行时代替一般将来时。
例题. I want to know when he _______ for New York tomorrow.
A. has left
B. is leaving
C. had left
D. has been leaving
分析：答案为B。分析语境逻辑可知，该空表将来动作，因为leave表"出发"，可用现在进行时代替一般将来时。
2）表将来的现在进行时有时含有“决心，意愿，意志”的意思，多用在否定结构中。如：
I’m not going.
我不走了。
I’m not waiting any longer.
我不再等了。
