Simple Present
for schedules
When an event is on a schedule or timetable (for example, the take-off time for a plane), we often use the present simple to express the future.
We usually also use a future word (expressed or understood) like:
tomorrow, at 6.30pm, next week.
Only a few verbs are used in this way, for example:be, open, close, begin, start, end, finish,
arrive, come, leave, return
Look at these sentences:
The train leaves Detroit at 9pm tonight.
John starts work next week.
Tomorrow is Thursday.
