Open lessonEnglish practice: future forms
At the station, a sign says that the 09:15 train leaves from platform 4. Your friend asks how you will get there, and you answer, 'I am meeting my brother there.' The timetable uses a present form, and so does your arrangement. English often talks about the future without using will.
