【思考发现】
过去将来时是由“should/would+动词原形”或“was/were going to+动词原形”构成的。
1.过去将来时的基本构成和用法
过去将来时由“would/should+动词原形”构成,主要表示从过去某一时间来看将要发生的动作(尤其用于宾语从句中),还可以表示过去的动作习惯或倾向。
She said that she wouldn't do that again.
她说她再不会这样做了。
2.表示过去将来时的其他表达法
(1)“was/were going to + 动词原形”该结构有两个主要用法,一是表示过去的打算,二是表示在过去看来有迹象表明将要发生某事。
He said that he was going to live in the country when he retired.
他说他退休后要住在农村。
I thought it was going to rain.
我认为要下雨了。
(2)“was/were to + 动词原形”主要表示过去按计划或安排要做的事情,或者表示可能性、必要、责任、义务、禁止等。
She said she was to get married next month.
她说她计划在下个月结婚。
(3)“was/were about to + 动词原形”或者“be on the point of doing sth.”表示在过去看来即将要发生的动作,由于本身已含有“即将”的意思,所以不再与表示具体的将来时间状语连用,但后面可以接when引导的分句。“be about to do”和“be on the point of doing”结构一般不与表示将来的时间状语连用。
I was about to go to bed when the phone rang.
电话铃响时我正好要上床睡觉。
I'm glad you have come.I was on the point of calling you, but you've saved me the trouble now.
很高兴你来了。我正准备给你打电话,现在你帮我省去这个麻烦了。
(4)“was/were +现在分词”表示在过去看来即将发生的动作,通常可用于该结构中的动词有come, go, leave, arrive, begin, start, stop, close, open, die, join, borrow, buy等瞬间动词。
Jack said he was leaving tomorrow.
杰克说他打算明天动身。
(5)状语从句中须用一般过去时代替过去将来时。
She told us that she would not go with us,if it rained.
她告诉我们,如果下雨,她就不和我们一起去了。
