請問可以表示將來的時式是不是只有現在進行式同將來式? 不是
如果不是,請詳細補充,最好有例子.
English does not have a “future tense”, but uses a variety of forms to talk about the future.
(1) Will (for instant decision; willingness; talk about things in the future that we can be fairly certain about.~ no sense of wish and intention)
It is raining. I will take an umbrella.
I will sit on the floor.
His grandfather will be ninety next year.
(2) be going to: (make a prediction; intention)
I think Manchester United is going to win.
I am going to start my own business.
(3) Present continuous: (for what someone has arranged to do.)
I am travelling to Boston next month. (It means that I have made arrangements such as buying my ticket.)
(4) Present simple (for timetable)
The train leaves at half past seven tomorrow morning.
(5) Be to: (for arrangement)
The President is to visit Vietnam.
(6) Be about to; be due to (for an action in the near future)
Hurry up! The bus is about to leave.
(7) Will be doing: (action over a future period)
My daughter can’t come tonight. She will be working.
(8) Will have done (Use future perfect to talk about something being over at a time in the future)
John won’t have completed his studies until 2014.
(9) May, might, could:
He may fail in the final examination this year.
(10) To-infinitive after aim, expect, hope, intend, or plan
He plans to run the Boston Marathon next year.
I agree with意見者001.
What is he doing on Sunday? He is meeting someone at the airport.
What is he going to do on Sunday? He is going to meet someone at the airport.
兩句子意思大致相同
present continuous ~ for an event in the future which has already been arranged by the time of speaking
going to do ~ intention ( for action that has already been decided on)
Note: The verb “meet” can be transitive or intransitive.
He is going to meet someone at the airport. (~ has object.)
We are going to meet at the airport. (~ no object)
Space 所限, 不能詳細, 簡言 (無言及 Shall)
題外:
Where 和 What 的 mix-up
Where is he going to be on Sunday? He is going to be at the airport.
2012-12-30 08:39:26 補充:
What is he doing on Sunday?
He is meeting somebody at the airport.
第二句子不需要加 on Sunday. 因是回應第一句子. 已經是 future
如果單是第二句子, 無第一句, Present continuous 是應用現在, 不是將來
要加 the 在 airport 前面, 除非知道airport 名稱
He is meeting somebody at Heathrow Airport.
