I can use present continuous tense for future plans.
未来の予定について表す現在進行形を使うことができるようになる。Grammar Point
Use the present continuous tense to talk about set future plans.
未来の予定について話すための現在進行形の使い方を学びましょう。-
The form is be + [present participle]. To make the present participle, add -ing to the dictionary form of the verb*.
形は<be+現在分詞>です。現在分詞を作るには、動詞の原形*の語尾に -ing をつけます。
*for verbs that end in -e, drop the -e and add –ing
*-e で終わる動詞は -e をとって –ing をつけます*for most verbs that end in [consonant] + [vowel] + [consonant] (not w, x, or y), double the last consonant and add –ing
*語尾が<子音字+母音字+w, x, y 以外の子音字>で終わるほとんどの動詞は、最後の子音字を重ねて、–ing をつけますDICTIONARY FORM | PRESENT PARTICIPLE |

In casual spoken and written English, be is usually contracted with subject pronouns. Please try to use contracted forms throughout this lesson.
カジュアルな話し言葉・書き言葉では、be動詞は通常、<人称代名詞の主格+be動詞>の短縮形で使われます。このレッスンを通して、短縮形を使ってみましょう。

Use not with the present continuous tense to talk about future plans that will definitely not happen.
未来の予定に関する否定文を作るには、現在進行形と not を使います。
I’m not going to Okinawa on Saturday.
私は土曜日に沖縄に行きません。
He’s not having a party tonight.
彼は今夜パーティを開きません。
We’re not running a marathon tomorrow.
私たちは明日マラソンを走りません。
Be careful: You can use the present continuous tense to talk about both set future plans and present ongoing actions. If you don’t use a time expression and the time is not obvious, most people will assume you are talking about the present, not the future.
I’m running a marathon tomorrow. (time expression = future)
私は明日マラソンを走ります。 (時の表現=未来)
Q: What are you doing tomorrow?
A: I’m running a marathon. (time is obvious = future)
Q: あなたは明日何をしますか?
A: 私はマラソンを走ります。 (時が明らか=未来)
I’m running a marathon. (no time expression + time is not obvious = present)
私はマラソンを走っています。 (時の表現がない+時が明らかではない=現在)
