我們可以用will或者shall來談論即將發生的事情,也可以用be going to來談論將來發生的事情。
用法速遞
will/shall + 動詞原形
表示將來某個時間要發生的動作或存在的狀態。例如:
I will go to Shanghai by plane tomorrow. 我明天要坐飛機去上海。
be going to + 動詞原形
表示打算、計劃、決定要做的事情或根據客觀跡象推測將要發生的事情。例如:
Look at those black clouds! It’s going to rain. 看那些烏云!要下雨了。
注意:常與一般將來時連用的時間狀語有:tonight, tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, this evening, next week, next Friday, in the future等。
溫馨提示
在英語中,有一些表示位置移動的動詞,如go, come, leave, return, arrive等,多用其進行時表示將來。例如:
Take it easy, Tom. The train is coming soon. 別著急,湯姆。火車馬上就到。
We’re leaving for Beijing tomorrow. 我們打算明天動身去北京。
there be句型的一般將來時結構有兩種,即There will be...或There is/are going to be...。例如:
There will be a storm tomorrow. 明天將會有一場暴風雨。
There is going to be a sports meeting in our school next month. 下個月我們學校有一個運動會。
