go to Use Actions taking place at the moment of speaking (now) Level: elementary

The action is going on now. Signal words like now, at the moment are often used to emphasise that the action is taking place at the moment of speaking. Signal words are not really necessary, however, as this is already expressed by the tense itself.

He is playing football.

Exercise
In the example you can see that the tickets are already bought. So we are talking about an arrangement for the near future. To make clear that the action is not going on now, we usually use signal words like tonight, tomorrow, next Friday, at noon.

Arrangements for the near future Level: lower intermediate

I'm going to the theatre tonight.

Exercise
Actions taking place only for a limited period of time Level: intermediate

Here we are talking about a time limit. Jim does not usually work in the firm, he is still at school and wants to earn some extra money during his holidays. To make clear that there is a time limit, we usually use signal words, e.g. this week/month/year.
Jim is helping in his brother's firm this week.
