Which sentence correctly uses the present simple tense for a fixed timetable or schedule?
AThe train leaving at 6 PM.
BThe train leaves at 6 PM.
CThe train is leaving at 6 PM right now.
DThe train will leaves at 6 PM.
Explanation
The present simple tense is conventionally used to describe fixed schedules and timetables, even when referring to a future event, as in ‘The train leaves at 6 PM.’ This usage treats the scheduled departure as a fixed, unchanging fact, which is why the present simple, rather than another future form, is the standard and correct choice for timetables.
