一般将来时（ 2 ）

当我们表达按照主观意图、打算或计划安排将要做的事情时，通常用 be going to 来表达；当我们表达客观上将来势必会发生的事情，或对未来的预测时，则通常用“ will + 动词原形”来表达。现以“ have classes” 为例，一起看一下它的具体用法。

     句式结构 例句肯定

句Sb. + will + 动词原形 + 其他

I will have classes tomorrow.

否定句

Sb. + will + not + 动词原形 + 其他

I will not / l won’t have any classes tomorrow.

一般疑问

句

Will + sb. + 动词原形 + 其他

—Will you have classes tomorrow? —Yes, I will. / No, I won’t.

注意 : will 没有人称和数的变化。 另外 , 一般将来时通常与以下时间状语连用 : tomorrow( 明天 ), next year( 明年 ), from

now on ( 从现在起 ), in a month( 一个月之后 ), in the future( 将来 ) 等。如 :

I will finish this work in a week.

我将在一周后完成这项工作。
