首先讓我們來看一道題:

The sky is very dark now. I'm afraid it ( ? )

A. will rain ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? B. is going to rain
C. is about raining ? ? D. it would rain?

答案是B,這個(gè)可能沒有問題。但是在我們學(xué)習(xí)的過程中,不能僅僅滿足于一個(gè)正確答案,而是從一道題目中,掌握各個(gè)知識點(diǎn)。我們認(rèn)為有必要講講A、D選項(xiàng)。也就是“Will”和“Would”的區(qū)別:

我們會在以下的情況用will:

1. 描述未來 – 講我們相信會發(fā)生的事情。比如 We will be late.
2. 講人們愿意做什么,比如 Do you think he will let me borrow some money?
3. 對他人承諾,比如 I’ll pick you up at 3pm.

Would 是will 的過去式。所以我們用它來:

1. 講過去的事,比如 I thought I would be late.
2. 假設(shè),比如 We would not have any money if we didn’t work.
3. 禮貌,比如 Would you please copy these forms for me? ?
