Как выбирать форму
- Present Progressive — договорённость или запланированное событие: is giving a concert next week.
- be going to + глагол — намерение (am going to buy) или прогноз с основанием (are going to enjoy).
- will + глагол — прогноз, мнение, решение в момент речи: I think I will…, I’ll come….
- Present Simple — расписание, график: opens at 11, starts at 8.
Фразу I am looking forward to seeing it не отношу к правилам будущего: это устойчивое выражение «с нетерпением жду этого», а не отдельная будущая форма.
