一般將來時表示將要發生的動作或存在的狀態以及計劃、打算做某事。E.g. They will have a football match tomorrow. He will be thirty next week. She is going to buy a coat this afternoon.

　　其結構有如下幾種: 1)will + 動詞原形(will可以用于任何人稱) 需要注意的是當主語是第一人稱時will可以換成shall,特別是在以I或we作主語的問句中,一般用shall. e.g. Shall we go to the zoo? 2)be going to +動詞原形 3)現在進行時也可表示將來,前邊已經講過,這里不在重復.

　　第一種結構的句式變化是: 變否定句在will后邊加not. 變一般疑問句把will提前. e.g. She will be back in three days. She will not be back in three days. Will She be back in three days? 第二種結構的句式變化要在be上做文章. E.g. They are going to clean their classroom. They are not going to clean their classroom. Are they going to clean their classroom?

　　其時間狀語有如下幾種 1)this引導的短語 如 this year 2)tomorrow及其相關短語如tomorrow morning 3)next引導的短語 如 next month 4) from now on ; in the future ; in an hour 等。

　　學生常見錯誤如下：　　　　一、易忽視動詞用原形形式

　　例：1 He will is (be) at school next Monday.

　　2 He is going to does (do) his homework after school.

　　答案：1 be 2 do

　　解析：第一題有的同學一看he做主語就用了is，忽視了will后應加動詞原形。我們在寫句子時，很容易把動詞丟掉，“英語句子里，動詞不能少”的規律必須要牢記。第二題中to后加動詞原形，而不是用單三人稱.。

　　二、be going to +動詞原形與will+動詞原形用法不清楚

　　例：我正努力學習，準備參加英語考試。

　　I am studying hard and I will try for my English exams.

　　答案：I am studying hard and I am going to try for my English exams.

　　解析：“be going to” 表示計劃、打算要做某事。E.g. He is going to visit his friends. 還表示某種跡象表明會發生某事.e.g. Look at the clouds. It’s going to rain. 而“Will+動詞原形 ”指對將來事物的預見、表示意愿、決心。E.g. I will wait for you until you come. 在單純預測未來時，二者可以互換，但在此題中只能用be going to，而不能用will。

　　答案： 1 will bring 2 Are 3 won’t leave 4Shall go 5 will 6 will go

　　7 will be 8 are going to do 9 will do 10 won’t take

　　三、 There be結構的一般將來時易出錯

　　例：There_________ a basketball match this afternoon. (B)

　　A is going to be B is going to have C are going to be D are going to have

　　答案：A

　　解析：There be結構的一般將來時既要符合There be結構，又要符合一般將來時。有的同學認為have當“有”講，所以選了B，但There be結構就不成立了，此句中is是be going to中的，是由后邊的單數名詞決定的.

　　四、 be going to結構中易丟掉to

　　例：I’m going _______(go) school by bike tomorrow. (C)

　　A to will go B to go to C go to D to go

　　答案：B

　　解析：由tomorrow可知是一般將來時，be going to +動詞原形，所以先確定用to go , 在B、 D當中選，而go to school 是固定詞組，不能因為前邊有一個to而省略，這是一個易錯點，需要注意。

　　另外，在時間狀語或條件狀語從句中，若主句用了將來時，從句則用一般現在時，前邊已經講過,這里不在重復.
