I prefer to use one of them in conversation. But a mate of mine uses the other. Which is the more correct sentence to ask someone if they've had a good week/week-end? I thought the use #of the preterite (the second) was the better option.

Same for these two. Which sounds more correct?

¿Qué estás haciendo ahora?These have two very different meanings
¿Qué vas a hacer hoy?

#¿Qué vas a hacer mañana?
¿Qué harás mañana?

Thanks.
# In my opinion they are just different ways of saying the same thing. Regionalism doesn't play a role choosing the future tense. Vas a hacer seems less formal than harás
