present vs future tenseLa question dit: Comment on peut mieux dire: I'll arrive dans 5 min. J'ai choisi "J'arriverai dans 5 min," mais le correct réponse c'est "J'arrive dans cinq minutes." Pour moi, J'arrive says "I am arriving" vs J'arriverai means "I'll arrive" et ce phrase est le mieux bien qu'on puisse utilizer l'autre aussi. Dit-moi comment j'ai tort. Merci.
