一、将来进行时的构成
1、概念: 表示将来某时进行的状态或动作,或按预测将来会发生的事情。由”shall/will+be+V-ing”构成。
I’ll be meeting him sometime in the future.
2、形式: (肯定,否定形式以及一般疑问式)。
常用的时间状语: soon ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ), tomorrow, this evening, on Sunday, by this time, tomorrow, in two days, tomorrow evening。
By this time tomorrow, ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) I’ll be lying on the beach. 我打电话,我们那时正在上课。
Don’t phone me betw ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )een 8:00 and 10:00.We’ll be having classes then. 8点到10点之间不要给
Will you be using your bicycle this evening 今晚你用自行车吗?
She won’t be having a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) meeting in her office at 8:00 tomorrow. 明天8点她不在办公室开会。
3、将来进行时的用法
1). 将来进行时表示在将来的某一个时间正在进行的动作和按计划、安排、决定,预料将要发生的事。
This time next week we ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) shall be working in that factory. 下周这时,我们将在那个工厂劳动。
We’ll be having a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) meeting at three o’clock tomorrow afternoon. 明下午三点,我们将正在开会。
When will you be seeing Mr. White?你将什么时候见怀特先生 (语气较委婉客气,下属对上司)
The students ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) will be watching TV at seven this evening. 今晚七点,学生们将正在看电视。
2). 将来进行时主要表示将来某一时刻 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )正在进行的动作, 或表示要在将来某一时刻开始, 并继续下去的动作,常用来表示礼貌的询问、请求等。如: 动作或事情。
This time next ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) day they will be sitting in the cinema. 强调在将来的某个具体时间正发生的
Don’t worry, ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) you won’t miss her. She will be wearing a red T-shirt and a white skirt at that time.
别担心,你不会认不出她的。她到时会穿一件红色的T恤衫和一条白色的短裙。
二、将来进行时与现在进行时的区别
现在进行时表示一种经过考 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )虑的,将来要进行的动作,而将来进行时通常表示正常过程中会发生的动作,因此将来进行时不如现在进行时那样肯定,比后者偶然性要大一些:
I am seeing Tom tomorr ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ow.明天我要和汤姆见面。I’ll be seeing Tom tomorrow.明天我会见到汤姆。
第一句意指:汤姆或说话人已经特意安排了 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )这次会面; 而第二句则意指:汤姆和说话人将在通常进程中见面(也许他们在一起工作)。不过这种差别并不是在任何情况下都很重要,而且常常两者都可以使用。现在进行时用于表示最近将来的动作时,必须有确定的时间,而将来进行时可以和确定的时间状语连用,也可以不连用。
它既可以表示最近将来的动作,也可以表示较远将来的动作。可以说:
I am meeting him tomorrow. 我明天和他会面。但是说:
I’ll be meeting him tomorrow/next year/some time. 我明天/明年/某时将与他会面。
三、将来进行时与一般将来时态的区别
将来进行时常表对将来事实的简单陈述。而will + v.(一般将来时)除表示时间概念外,还带有感彩。
Tom will be cutting grass tomorrow. 汤姆明天将正在割草。
Tom will cut the grass tomorrow. 汤姆明天愿意割草。
四、将来进行时与will + 动词原形的比较
A. will + 动词原形和将来进行时之间的差别与will + 动词原形和现在进行时之间的差别基本上相同。
will + 动词原形表示将来的意图。将来进行时表示未经过考虑将来便要进行的动作。
I’ll write to Mr Pitt ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )and tell him about Tom’s new house. 我要写信告诉皮特关于汤姆新房的事。
在这个例句中,动词表示意图,说话人根据自己的意愿宣布一个经过考虑的、将来要进行的动作。
但在下面这句中:
I’ll be writing to Mr Pitt and I’ll tell him about Tom’s new house.
我会写信给皮特先生并告诉他关于汤姆的新房子的事。
黑体动词并不表意图,仅是对事实的陈述,意味着写这封信给皮特先生是例行公事,或者这信是因与汤姆的新房子无关的原因而写的。
类似的情况有: Tom won’t cut the grass. 意指汤姆拒绝割草。
而Tom won’t be ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) cutting the grass(汤姆不会去割草)仅陈述这一事实,并未说明汤姆的想法。也许汤姆已外出,或者生病了,或者要做其他工作。
B. will + 动词原形
可以表示邀请。 Will you have a cigarette?请抽烟。
或表示有礼貌的请求。 Will you help me to lift the piano?请你帮我抬一下钢琴,好吗?
或者发出命令。 You will work in this room. 你在这个房间里工作。
而将来进行时则无上述这些含义:
—Will you please bring the piano in here 请你把钢琴搬进这里来,好吗?
—Yes, sir./OK. 好,先生/好的
但Will you be ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )bringing the piano in here?(你会不会把钢琴搬到这里来?)仅是关于将来的动作的问句,不含请求或命令的意思。
Yes, I think I will./N ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )o, I think I’ll put it upstairs. 是的,我想是的。/不,我想把它放在楼上。
You will work in this office. 你在这个办公室工作。(命令)
但是说: You will be working here. 你将在这里工作。(仅陈述一件事实)
和前面一样,这里也可以用现在进行时而不用将来进行时,但必须加上一个确指将来时间的状语。

Step2 Writing
T: So much for t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )he check up. Before we begin to write first let’s read a passage, which is about the predictions of the future. Please work in pairs and answer the following questions.
(Show the following on the screen.)
T: Now please write ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) about what you will be doing in ten years in 100 words. You may follow the following steps: first make an outline and write down some key words; the next step is to exchange their works with their deskmates for suggestions; the last step is correction.
The four para ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )graphs on Page 8 are good models, though they are all around 80 words long, rather than the 100 words the students are asked to write. Encourage the students to use:
1. the future continuous tense (I’ll be doing/I won’t be doing)
2. the introductory verbs: I hope/I guess/I imagine/I’d like to.
3. the introductory words: hopefully /eventually/maybe/definitely.
Step3 Everyday English
T: That’s all ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )for our writing. Now let’s come to our Everyday English. Please look at the words and phrases and choose the best explanation. (Show the following on the screen.)

Step4 Summary and homework
T: Today first w ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e read a passage to learn how to make predictions. And then we practiced writing about predictions. Just remember to write notes before starting writing. In that way you won’t get stuck after writing one sentence. When you have finished writing, read through what you have written. Make any changes which you think will make your writing clearer for the reader. In Everyday English, we learned some words and phrases and how to use them. After class please use the words or phrases we learned to make up your own dialogue. That’s all for today. You are dismissed!
