Explanation
A plan is خُطَّة. Say your plan in order: a time word first, then the future verb. Start with فِي الصَّبَاح “in the morning”, continue with بَعْد الظُّهْر “in the afternoon” and فِي الْمَسَاء “in the evening”. Join the parts with ثُمَّ “then”. Five new verbs help us: أَزُور (visit), أَرْجِع (return), أُسَاعِد (help), أُقَابِل (meet) and أَتَسَوَّق (shop). With سَـ they become سَأَزُور، سَأَرْجِع، سَأُسَاعِد، سَأُقَابِل، سَأَتَسَوَّق.
