一、概念:一般將來時表示將來某個時間要發(fā)生的動作或存在的狀態(tài),及計劃、打算或準備做某事。常常

與表示將來的時間狀語連用。如:tomorrow, next day(week, month, year…),soon, the day after tomorrow(后天)等。?
二、常用的表達形式共有五種,現(xiàn)歸納如下:?
(一)“will +動詞原形”這一形式,主要用于在以下幾個方面:?
1、表示單純的未來“將要”通用于各個人稱。eg:?
They will go to visit the factory tomorrow. 明天他們將去工廠參觀。?
I’ll come with Wang Bing and Yang Ling. 我將和王兵、楊玲一起來。?
The rain will stop soon. 雨很快就要停了。?
2、表示不以人的意志為轉移的自然發(fā)展的未來的事。eg:
Today is Saturday. Tomorrow will be Sunday. 今天是星期六。明天是(將)是星期日。 He will be thirty years old this time next year. 明年這個時候他就(將)三十歲。?
3、問對方是否愿意做某事或表示客氣地邀請或命令。 eg: Will you please turn on the radio? ? ?請打開收音機好嗎??
Will you go to the zoo with me? ?你和我一起去動物園好嗎??
Shall we go there at five? 我們五點鐘去那兒,好嗎? ??
?Will you please open the door? 請你把門打開,好嗎??
注:在口語中will用于所有人稱,書面語中第一人稱常用shall。?
(二)“be going to+動詞原形”的形式,表示事先經(jīng)過考慮、安排好打算、計劃要做的事情以及已有跡象表明必將發(fā)生某事,意為“打算;就要”。?
如:1)We're going to meet outside the school gate. 我們打算在校門口見面。?
? ? ? 2)Dad and I are going to watch an opera this afternoon. 今天下午我和爸爸打算去看歌劇。?
? ? 3) Look! It's going to rain. 瞧!快下雨了。
三、一般將來是特殊用法:?
1、be +不定式表將來,按計劃或正式安排將發(fā)生的事。 ? ?We are to talk about the report next Saturday. He is to visit Japan next year. 明年他將訪問日本。?
2、“be about to+動詞原形”表示即將發(fā)生的動作,意為:很快,馬上。后面一般不能與tomorrow, next week?
等表示明確將來時的時間狀語連用。?
如:We are about to leave.我們馬上就走。意為馬上做某事。 ? ? He is about to leave for Beijing.?
They're about to leave. (=They're leaving.) 他們就要走了。?
?3、有些表趨向性的動詞可用現(xiàn)在進行時來表示將來時:例如:go,come,arrive, fly(飛往),reach(到達),stay,leave,start, die...?
如:I’m going to go to the zoo this weekend.= I’m going to the zoo this weekend. ? ??
He’s going to leave for Paris.= He’s leaving for Paris.?
The old man is dying.= The old man will die. 這個老人要去世。?
Uncle Wang is coming. 王叔叔就要來了。?
4)要注意“主將從現(xiàn)”這一語法現(xiàn)象:重要連詞有: if (如果),as soon as (一....就...),when(當...時候),before,after,until(直到 ?not..until直到...才) ,?
If it rains, we won’t have a picnic next week. I’ll tell you the news as soon as you come back. ?
If it doesn't rain tomorrow, we will go out for a picnic. 如果明天不下雨,我們將出去野餐。 ? ?
四、基本結構:①be going to + 動詞原形; ②will+動詞原形 ?
五、否定句:在be動詞(am, is, are)后加not或will后加not成 ?won’t.?
例如:1) I’m going to have a picnic this afternoon.?
→ I’m not going to have a picnic this afternoon. 2) Peter will go to Nanning next week. →Peter won’t go to Nanning next week.?
六、一般疑問句: be或will提到句首,some改為any, and改為or,第一、二人稱互換。 例如:1)We are going to go on an outing this weekend. ?
→ Are you going to go on an outing this weekend? Yes,we are. / No, we aren’ t . 2) I will go swimming tomorrow.?
→ Will you go swimming tomorrow.? ?Yes, I will./ No, I won’t. ?
七、There be 句型的一般將來時:There will be… / There is going to be…
