There are two possible ways to complete this sentence using the Present Continuous Tense or to be going to:
1. Tomorrow I’m meeting my mum after school. (Present Continuous Tense)
This means that the speaker has already made plans to meet their mum tomorrow after school. The action is arranged and scheduled to happen in the future.
2. Tomorrow I’m going to meet my mum after school. (to be going to)
This means that the speaker has the intention or plan to meet their mum tomorrow after school. The action is not necessarily arranged or scheduled, but the speaker has made a decision to do it in the future.
Both forms are correct and convey a similar meaning, but the Present Continuous Tense emphasizes the arrangement and the to be going to form emphasizes the intention or plan.
