- [ ] I will go to the pizza place later.

The correct answers are **I am taking my biology exam next Friday.** and **We are flying to Miami for spring break tomorrow!**

> We often use the Present Continuous (*am/is/are + verb-ing*) to talk about fixed plans and arrangements in the future. 

> 

> "I am studying... right now" uses the Present Continuous, but it describes an action happening at this exact moment, not a future arrangement. "I will go..." refers to the future, but it uses the modal "will" instead of the Present Continuous.
