About using present tense sentences to tell about future

Can we use the present tense forms to tell about the future?

suppose, I am going to Hongkong next month

The feedback is given on next monday

I finish my stuffs tomorrow

Can we use such sentenses both in verbal and written conversations?

Thank you

on next Monday probably 'will be given' is better 'stuff' is singular (and very informal)

Philipon next Monday
Philip, wake up!

The continuous present is common especially if the verb denotes motion:

He is coming tomorrow.

They are leaving town in an hour.

The simple present is often used when a schedule or something planned in advance is referred to:

Our train leaves at 6:30.
