How long here? [present progressive for future]

I was wondering about these two sentences:

How long will you stay here.
How long are you staying here.

Is one of them wrong? Is there a difference in meaning?

I would normally say «How long are you staying here?» or «How long will you be staying here?» to ask about the length of someone’s vacation or something of that kind. They’re pretty much equivalent.

«How long will you stay here?» is grammatically correct, but it sounds awkward to me in that context.

Are you interested in a specific context?

My context was:
I meet an exchange student and want to ask him about his stay and when he will go (I guess be going would be wrong here, right) back to his country. So your explaination did perfectly fit that context, I assume. Thank you!

Is there any situation in which «How long will you stay here.» could make sense?

It makes sense in many contexts. It doesn’t sound all that natural in this one.

«How long will you stay here» sounds more natural if you use a different intonation from the neutral question (giving the sentence a different meaning). «How long will you stay here?» or «How long will you stay here?» could sound very natural in the middle of a conversation where someone is threatening to leave.

A: «What are you worrying about? I’m here!»
B: «Yeah, but how long will you stay here?»
(How long will «you are here» keep being true?)

A: «If you’re not back soon, I’m leaving!»
B: «Ok. uh. I’ll try to find someone else to take over the shift. How long will you stay there?»
(How long are you willing to stay?)

It would be obvious that those are different questions with different meanings if you heard someone say them, but it’s not always clear in writing, so I had to be sure you were talking about the obvious context (staying in a country/hotel/town/etc. as a tourist or exchange student) instead of some weird context.

I agree with the above. It’s the same reason you would never say, «I will stay here for three months» but rather «I am staying here for three months,» or if you want the future, «I am going to stay here for three months.»

Likewise, your question could be, «How long are you going to stay here?»

I have a question regarding brian’s reply.

Do I understand’s brian’s answer correctly?:

I’m staying here for three months. (= the duration of my stay (including the time that has already past plus the remaining time) is three months)
I’m going to stay here for three months. (= I’ve just arrived and the duration of my stay is three months.)
I’m going to stay here for another three months. (my own sentence / = I’ve been here for some time and I’m going to return in three months.)

I’m sorry, I didn’t realize that this thread is about the present continuous referring to the future. This thread came up when I googled to find out which tenses can be used with how long.

My sentence: I’m staying here for three months (without another as in se16teddy’s examples) was not meant to refer to the future. I wanted to find out whether my sentence refers to the duration of my stay (including the time that has already past plus the remaining time).

I can definitely understand that by adding another to my sentence above, it refers to a future arrangement.

se16teddy

Senior Member

We use the continuous aspect (with or without a modal or quasi-modal) of futures that are already arranged. How long will you stay here? asks for a spur-of-the moment decision.

(Sorry, I deleted my earlier post because I was not sure it was strictly relevant.)

se16teddy, I appreciate your answers, but I still couldn’t find out what I’m trying to find out.

Let’s assume the following situation: Tom lives in Zurich, but right now he’s in London. He arrived in London two months ago so he’s stayed in London for two months. He will be staying for another 2 months, so the duration of his stay is 4 months in total.

Heathrow airport near London is the

Heathrow airport near London is the busiest international airport in the world. Every day thousands of travellers arrive at Heathrow from many different countries. Every one of them has a different story to tell. We spent an afternoon in the Arrivals Hall at Heathrow last week talking to travellers arriving from abroad. We asked them: Why are you here?

Rima, 23, from Vilnius in Lithuania.
-Why are you here?
-I’m going to look for a job. Maybe as an au pair, looking after children. And I want to improve my English too, so I can get a better job when I go back home. I hope I can find some work quickly, because I don’t have much money.
-Is this your first visit?
-Yes, it is. I’m really looking forward to living here but I’m a bit nervous too.
-How long are you going to stay?
-Six months or a year. It depends how things go.
-Do you know anybody here?
-Yes, I have a friend who’s working here in a restaurant. I’m going to stay with her for a few weeks until I can find my own flat.
-Well, good luck!

Jonathan, 35, just arrived from Melbourne, Australia.
-Why are you here?
-I’m going to see my Dad in Wales. It’s his seventieth birthday tomorrow.
-Does he know you’re coming?
-No. It’s going to be a big surprise for him. And it’s going to be very emotional too. I moved to Australia in 1990, and the last time I saw my Dad was five years ago. It’s too expensive to visit very often and my father can’t fly – he had a heart operation last year.
-How are you going to get there?
-By train. All the family are waiting at my parents’ house. We’re going to have a big party there tomorrow night.
-Are you going to stay for long?
-Yes, for a month. It’s too far to come for a short time – and I want to see all my old friends here as well as my family.

Maki, 25 and Koji 27 from Nagasaki, Japan.
-Why are you here?
-We’re on our honeymoon. We got married last Saturday.
-Congratulations! Where are you staying in London?
-We’re staying at the Hyde Park Hotel. We’re just here for a few days.
-What are you planning to do?
-Everything is organized for us. Tomorrow we’re doing a tour of London on a double-decker bus, and in the evening we’re seeing a show. Then on Tuesday we’re going to Oxford and Cambridge and on Wednesday we’re flying to Edinburgh.
-When are you leaving?
-On Friday. We’re going to Paris next, and then to Rome…
-Well, have a good time!
