⑤ Read the Language box. Choose the correct options. Present simple for timetables We can use the present simple tense for events in the future when those events are facts because there is a clear timetable for them to happen in the future. For example, when a train leaves the station at 9 a.m. every day because that's in a timetable and it's now 8:45 a.m., we say: The train 'is leaving / leaves at 9 a.m. When we want to say that something isn't in a timetable, we use the negative form of the present simple, for example: The bus² doesn't/don't leave from platform 2. If you want to ask a question about a future event that's in a timetable, you use a present simple question, for example: ³ Does / Is the bus to Luxor stop here? or When "do / does the train arrive in Cairo? 6 Complete the sentences about timetables with the correct form of the verb in brackets. 1 This bus 2 The train to Aswan 3 What time 4 The next train to Alexandria.
