Anne et Antoine se promènent avec leur chien. - Present or near future?

I thought that 'le présent' is used for the present and near future tenses, so why the answer of "Anne et Antoine se promènent avec leur chien." is only makert right to "Anne and Antoine are going for a walk with their dog." ?

Can't "Anne and Antoine are walking their dog." be correct as well?

I know that the question is related to the lesson but I wan't to know if that meaning is correct in the day-to-day use.

a reprint of what I posted 8 months ago on Future Simple with -er, -ir'rencontre' in the future in Horoscope de l'année

I wrote 'rencontrerez' for the future of the verb rencontre, & I got it right in the fill-in-the-blank exercise Horoscope de l'année (Le Futur); however, it doesn't seem to fit into the pattern for either regular -er and -ir verbs in the future or -re and -dre verbs in the future, and it directed me to this page, so I'm confused.

Does anybody agree?

Following on from my question about queue and line.. if I recognise the problem and simply do not answer the question.. it keeps coming up time and again as the first question in a Kwiz.. am thinking it would be easy enough to create a rule that if somebody did not answer a question three times in a row it was highly likely that they were ignoring the question and Kwizbot should stop asking it.. at least for a week.

In lesson for 'ne explitif'"Évitons que la situation ne dégénère !Let's avoid the situation getting worse!" appears. Instead of 'avoid' wouldn't 'prevent be better, or is avoid maybe used in Britain to an extent?-- I'm American, and the latter sounds more natural to me.
