    Why is it "I will call you"? I thought it's "I call you"

      For actions going to take place in the near future, Swedish will sometimes use the present tense whereas English would use the construction with "will".

      English does that too sometimes. No, I can't meet you. I'm leaving for the airport at four o'clock
