每天放學(xué)回家,明明都要向媽媽匯報英語課堂上學(xué)到的知識。這不,今天一回到家,明明就說上了:
I am going to play football tomorrow afternoon.
Today is Friday. Tomorrow will be Saturday.
媽媽聽了,高興地說:“看來你今天學(xué)習(xí)了用“be going to”和“will”表達(dá)將來時,那你能具體說說它們的用法嗎?”
“這簡單!”明明講起來頭頭是道,眉飛色舞。
首先,這兩個結(jié)構(gòu)后面都必須跟動詞原形。be going to 結(jié)構(gòu)中的be一般有三種形式,即:am , is , are 。當(dāng)主語是 I 時用am ;當(dāng)主語是he/she/it或其他第三人稱單數(shù)時用is;當(dāng)主語是復(fù)數(shù)時用are。例如:
Helen is going to see Mr. Wang this afternoon.
海倫打算今天下午去看望王先生。
We are going to have a class meeting this afternoon.
今天下午我們打算開班會。
There be 句型的將來時結(jié)構(gòu)為:There is/are going to be ... (注意句型中g(shù)oing to 后面的be不能改為have) 或者There will be ...,常用來表示將有某事發(fā)生。例如:
There is going to be a meeting this afternoon.
今天下午將有一場會議。
There will be a football match next Saturday in our school.
下周六我們學(xué)校將有一場足球比賽。
對于事先經(jīng)過考慮的打算、計(jì)劃、意圖,多使用be going to。
例如: — What are you going to do next Sunday?
下星期天你打算干什么?
— Im going to go f ishing. 我打算去釣魚。(事先考慮)
對于未經(jīng)過考慮的打算、計(jì)劃,只是臨時之意,則多用will 結(jié)構(gòu)。例如:
Where is my coat? 我的外套在哪兒?
Ill go and get it for you. 我去給你拿。(臨時想法)
在表示即將發(fā)生某事時,兩者區(qū)別意義不大,多可互換。例如:
What is going to happen? 就要發(fā)生什么事?
What will happen? 將要發(fā)生什么事?
一般來說,be going to 表示較近的將來,而will 則表示較遠(yuǎn)的將來。試比較:
It is going to snow tonight. 今晚要下雪。
There will be a strong wind in a few days.
幾天后將有一場大風(fēng)。
聽了明明的講解,媽媽非常高興,于是又出了兩道題讓明明做。同學(xué)們,你們也來試一試吧!
