现在进行时表将来安排

形式和现在进行时完全一样：am / is / are + 动词 -ing。区别在于句子里有一个将来的时间（或者从语境中能明显看出来）：tonight、tomorrow、on Friday、next week…

💡中文只要加上“明天”“下周”这样的时间词，句子就表示将来，动词不用变。但英语谈个人计划时不能这样——“I meet Lan tomorrow” 听起来像在念时刻表。如果事情已经安排好了，要说 I'm meeting Lan tomorrow。

1. 已经安排好的个人计划——你已经决定并做好了安排：和别人约好了时间、订了票或订了位、记在了日程表里

• I'm having dinner with my parents on Sunday.

  星期天我要和父母一起吃晚饭。

• Minh is flying to Da Nang on Friday. He booked the ticket last week.

  阿明星期五飞岘港。他上周就订好了机票。

• We're having a party on Saturday. Can you come?

  我们星期六要开派对。你能来吗？

2. 询问别人的计划——What are you doing…? Are you coming…?

• What are you doing this weekend?

  你这个周末打算做什么？

• Are you coming to Hoa's birthday party tomorrow?

  你明天会来参加阿花的生日派对吗？

3. 马上就要做的事——尤其是 go、come、leave，在刚要开始的时候

• I'm going to bed now. Good night!

  我现在去睡觉了。晚安！

• Wait for me — I'm coming!

  等等我——我这就来！（不说：I come）

因为它和“此刻正在做”的形式一样，听话人要靠时间短语或语境来判断你说的是现在还是将来。

• I'm playing badminton.

  我在打羽毛球。（此刻）

• I'm playing badminton after work.

  下班后我要去打羽毛球。（已安排好的计划）

• 今天稍后：tonight, this afternoon, at 7 o'clock, after work, later
• 接下来几天：tomorrow, on Friday, this weekend, the day after tomorrow
• 更远的将来：next week, next month, in July, in the summer

英语有好几种谈论将来的方式。下表总结了这个阶段最常遇到的四种，每一种都有单独的一课。

谈个人计划时，现在进行时和 going to 常常都可以用。现在进行时强调事情已经安排好；going to 强调说话人的打算。

• We're getting married in May.

  我们五月结婚。（日子已经定了）

• We're going to get married next year.

  我们打算明年结婚。（已经决定，但还没安排）

💡有两点要注意：没人能安排的事情，比如天气，不用现在进行时（It's going to rain tomorrow——不说 It's raining tomorrow）；问别人的计划时，What are you doing tonight? 比 What will you do tonight? 自然得多。

• ✗I meet my friends at the cinema tonight.

  ✓I'm meeting my friends at the cinema tonight.

  已经安排好的计划 → 用现在进行时。

• ✗Are you come to my party on Sunday?

  ✓Are you coming to my party on Sunday?

  be 后面要接动词 -ing。

• ✗We having a barbecue on Saturday.

  ✓We're having a barbecue on Saturday.

  缺少 be。

• ✗What do you do tonight?

  ✓What are you doing tonight?

  What do you do? 是问别人的职业。

• ✗It's raining tomorrow.

  ✓It's going to rain tomorrow.

  天气没人能安排 → 用 going to / will。
