一般將來時的三種表達
還記得我們學過了一般將來時will do的結構:
What will you do tomorrow?
--I will go to play tennis with Jill.
但是,有時候我們也會看到這麼說的:
What are you doing tomorrow?
--I'm playing tennis with Jill tomorrow.
或者:
What are you going to do tomorrow?
--I'm going to play tennis with Jill tomorrow.
沒錯,都是對的,除了用will do 表示將要做...之外,am/is/are+ing和am/is/are going to do同樣可以表示將要做...
而am/is/are並沒有那麼常見,如果要用這個結構,一定要記得加將來的時間(tomorrow/ next week/ next month...等),不然很容易和現在進行時搞混。
We're having a party tomorrow.
我們明天會舉辦個聚會。
=We're going to have a party tomorrow.
will 與shall
有時候我們又會看到will 和 shall同等互換。比如說:
I will be late tomorrow.
=I shall be late tomorrow.
我明天會遲到。
I think we will win.
=I think we shall win.
我相信我們會贏的。
當shall 與I,we 搭配時,是可以同等互換的,但是如果是he,she,you,they,it,就不可以了。
我們可以說:
Marco will be late tomorrow.
但是,我們不能說: Marco shall be late tomorrow.(x)
