第 54 課 · 第 4 階段: 時態與情態動詞
將來進行時
中級Future continuous
構成與用法
will be + -ing — 將來某一時刻正在進行的動作
1.形式
將來進行時 = will be + 動詞-ing,所有主語都一樣。縮寫形式:I'll be、she'll be;否定式 won't be。
| 句型 | 例句 | |
|---|---|---|
| 肯定式 | S + will be + V-ing | I'll be working. |
| 否定式 | S + won't be + V-ing | She won't be coming. |
| 疑問式 | Will + S + be + V-ing? | Will you be using the car? |
| 簡略回答 | Yes, S will. / No, S won't. | Yes, I will. / No, I won't. |
疑問句中只有 will 放到主語前面;be 留在主語後面:Will you be working?(不說:Will be you working?)。
2.什麼時候用
1. 將來某一時刻正在進行的動作——this time tomorrow、at eight tonight、when you arrive…
This time tomorrow, I'll be sitting on a plane to Seoul.
明天這個時候,我正坐在飛往首爾的飛機上。
Don't come at nine — the baby will be sleeping.
別九點來——那時寶寶正在睡覺。
When you land, I'll be waiting at the arrivals gate.
你落地的時候,我會在到達口等你。
2. 將來一段時間裡持續進行的動作
I'll be working all weekend, so I can't go out.
整個週末我都要工作,所以出不去。
Lan will be travelling around Europe for the whole of July.
阿蘭整個七月都會在歐洲旅行。
3. 按正常安排反正會發生的事——語氣中立,不強調意圖;常用於廣播通知
We'll be landing in Da Nang in about twenty minutes.
我們將在大約二十分鐘後降落峴港。
I'll be seeing Huy at work tomorrow, so I can give him the book.
我明天上班會見到阿輝,可以把書交給他。
4. 禮貌地詢問別人的安排——常在請人幫忙之前
Will you be using your laptop this afternoon? Mine's broken.
你今天下午要用筆記型電腦嗎?我的壞了。
Will you be staying for dinner?
你留下來吃晚飯嗎?
Will you be + -ing? 只是問安排,所以聽起來委婉、沒有壓力。Will you + 動詞? 通常是請求或邀請。比較:Will you come to the party?(邀請你)——Will you be coming to the party?(問你是否打算來)。
5. 猜測某人此刻正在做什麼
Don't call Mai now — she'll be driving home.
現在別給阿梅打電話——她這會兒應該正開車回家呢。
3.Will be -ing 還是 will + 動詞?
Will be -ing = 動作在那個時候正在進行(之前已經開始,之後還會繼續)。Will + 動詞 = 動作在那個時候開始或發生,或者是一個決定、承諾、提議。
When you get here, we'll be eating.
你到的時候,我們正在吃飯。(你到之前我們就已經開吃了)
When you get here, we'll eat.
你到了我們就開飯。(你到時我們才開始吃)
I'm thirsty. — Wait, I'll get you some water.
我渴了。——等一下,我去給你倒水。(提議 → will + 動詞)
| 時間 | 句子 | 時態 |
|---|---|---|
| 昨天 9 點 | At nine yesterday, Nam was teaching. | 過去進行時 |
| 現在(9 點) | It's nine now. Nam is teaching. | 現在進行時 |
| 明天 9 點 | At nine tomorrow, Nam will be teaching. | 將來進行時 |
- 狀態動詞(know、want、like、believe…)通常不用這種形式:I'll know the results tomorrow(不說:will be knowing)。
- 在 when、while、until、as soon as… 後面,即使說的是將來,也用現在時:When you arrive, I'll be waiting(不說:will arrive)——見“表將來的時間狀語從句”一課。
4.常見錯誤
This time tomorrow I will sitting in the exam room.This time tomorrow I will be sitting in the exam room.
缺了 be。
I will be study until nine.I will be studying until nine.
will be 後面要接 -ing。
Will be you using the printer later?Will you be using the printer later?
只有 will 放在主語前面。
When you will arrive, I'll be waiting.When you arrive, I'll be waiting.
when 後面 → 一般現在時。
I'll be knowing the results tomorrow.I'll know the results tomorrow.
know 是狀態動詞。
I'm cold. — I'll be closing the window.I'm cold. — I'll close the window.
提議或當場的決定 → will + 動詞。
例句
- This time tomorrow, I will be lying on a beach in Phú Quốc.
- Don't phone between seven and eight. We will be having dinner.
- This time next week, we will be flying to Seoul.
- Will you be using your laptop this evening? I need to check my email.
