StoneyB on hiatus StoneyB on hiatus I agree with your answer here but I find all these symbols take a lot of translating.

I appreciate the simplicity and need to be brief, but aesthetically speaking, the numerous instances of VERB look bewildering and distracting for me.

The present continuous is "more suitable" when we want to indicate that the speaker is committed to the idea that the plan will take place. Otherwise, 'future will' is okay. For examples, see my answer. The progressive futurate, according to present theory, means both a the existence of a current plan we use "plan" for lack of a better word and b the speaker is committed to the expectation that the plan will happen.

So, both 1 The meeting will take place on the 5th of June. Thus, you can use will. To see the difference, consider 1b The meeting will take place on the 5th of June but it might not. This is fine.

And it seems to me these very fine distinctions in the varieties of future reference are matters of the pragmatic contexts in which they're uttered, not meanings inherent in the constructions.

Your downvotes are welcome but you are downvoting not my ideas but that of the latest scholarly research on the progressive futurate. Or perhaps I've presented the ideas poorly. Yet, ultimately, I do think that the OP is more interested in research by vetted scholars and not private opinions. Thanks a lot Clare and Stoney B for your contribution.

Anyway, if you're asking if future will is ungrammatical in your sentences, it's not. Log in Sign Up. Save Word. Definition of take place.
