RE: Should I use “closes” or “is closing” or “is going to close”?

Let’s walk quickly because the shop (closes/is closing/is going to close) in ten minutes.

What do great choices seem more confusing to you? Do not know whether to chose, my opinion I’m going to choose is closing but I don’t know why? What’s going on in the third paragraph?

In this case, I think all are correct and mean exactly the same thing that you need to hurry to reach the shop before it shut down.

When you say “closes”, you are talking about the “regular closing time.” On the other hand, if you say,”is closing,” it may mean that you just got the news, and the shop is closing not at its regular time.

If the event is definitely going to happen (or it’s a regular affair as in trains schedules), using the base verb is fine in present only tense…

How can I get out of the shop early at 8 p.m.? normal timing Hurry,
the shop is closing at 8 am at the Newark Depot. maybe, you know that it is not its usual time and the shop is closing early.

This is an exaggeration? And who are we talking to? In my opinion, in your case, broadly all three can work.
