Need help - tenses
Dear All,
I'd be glad if you could answer the following question:
Is the tense in the sentence "When do we go to Italy?" (like a sudden suggestion to go on holidays) correct? Is it OK or does it exclusively have to be "When are we going to Italy?".
Many thanks!!!

-- This is NOT a sudden suggestion. It is a request for information about an already planned trip. "-- This is also a request for information, but the trip is not yet formally planned; it is just an intention.
