USE
We use the present continuous:

To talk about things that are happening now, at the moment we speak.
A: What are you doing?
B: I´m writing an e-mail.

We´re leaving now. Goodbye.

The bus is coming.

To talk about things that are happening now, but not exactly at the moment we speak.
My brother is looking for a job at the moment.
You are spending a lot of money these days.

To talk about something we have already arranged or planned to do in the future.

We often give the future time (tomorow, in July, on Saturday, this afternoon, next week, etc…)

A: What are you doing on Saturday morning?

B: I´m meeting a friend.

We´re visiting our grandparents next weekend.

My sister is starting a new job next Monday.
