一般将来时的五种表达方法
一般将来时表示将来某个时间要发生的动作或存在的状态,也表示将来经常或反复发生的动作。常常与表示将来的时间状语连用。常用的表达形式共有五种,现归纳如下:
一、用will或shall表示。“助动词will或shall+动词原形”这一形式,表示将来发生的事情,用于征求对方的意见或表示客气的邀请。在口语中will用于所有人称,书面语中第一人称常用shall。如:
1. Tomorrow will be Sunday. 明天就是星期天。
2. The rain will stop soon. 雨很快就要停了。
3. Shall we go there at five? 我们五点钟去那儿,好吗?
4. Will you please open the door? 请你把门打开,好吗?
二、用be going to结构表示。“be going to+动词原形”用来表示近期或事先考虑过的将要发生的动作以及已有迹象表明必将发生某事,意为“打算;就要”。如:
1. We’re going to meet outside the school gate. 我们打算在校门口见面。
2. Look! It’s going to rain. 瞧!快下雨了。
三、用现在进行时表示。表示位置转移的动词(如:go, come, leave, start, arrive等),可用现在进行时表示将来时。如:
1. Uncle Wang is coming. 王叔叔就要来了。
2. They’re leaving for Beijing. 他们即将前往北京。
四、用一般现在时表示。根据规定或时间表预计要发生的动作,在时间和条件状语从句中,都可用一般现在时表示将来时。如:
1. The new term starts (begins) on August 29th. 新学期八月二十九日开学。
2. If it doesn’t rain tomorrow, we will go out for a picnic. 如果明天不下雨,我们将出去野餐。
五、用“be+动词不定式”或用“be about to +动词原形”的结构表示。如:
