:用现在进行时表示将来(英语)
表将来的现在进行时有时从属于将来时态。如:
(1) On election night we’ll be telling you what’s happening in various places in this country. 到了选举的夜晚,我们将把全国各地的情况告诉大家。
(2) when I have time, I’ll come down to the school to see how you’re both doing. 我有空时,会来学校看你们俩的学习情况。
典型例题
(1)He said he________me a present unless I_______ in doing the experiment.
A. had not given; had not succeeded B. would not give; succeed
C. will not give; succeed D. would not give; will succeed.
答案B. 在时间,条件或让步主语从句中一般不用将来时。本题有He said,故为过去式。主句用将来时,故选B. 此处用一般过去式代替了过去将来时。
(2) 表示现在已安排好的未来事项,行程等活动。
The museum opens at ten tomorrow. 博物馆明天10点开门。(实际上每天如此。)
