✨ 关键句型与语法

一般将来时 (Simple Future Tense)

本单元的语法重点是一般将来时"will + 动词原形"的用法。

 

1. 肯定句：主语 + will + 动词原形 + 其他.

   People will live longer in the future.

   AI and robots will take over boring work.

2. 否定句：主语 + will not (won't) + 动词原形 + 其他.

   We won't be able to live on Earth if pollution gets worse.

3. 一般疑问句：Will + 主语 + 动词原形 + 其他？

   — Will most people live in outer space? — Yes, they will. / No, they won't.

4. 特殊疑问句：特殊疑问词 + will + 主语 + 动词原形 + 其他？

   What will the future be like?

   How will technology change our lives?

 

"be going to" 结构

"be going to + 动词原形"也表示将来，但更强调主观打算、计划或根据现有迹象做出的推测。

I'm going to study art in France.（我打算去法国学习艺术。）

Look at the clouds. It's going to rain.（看那些云，要下雨了。）

主将从现原则

在时间状语从句和条件状语从句中，遵循"主将从现"原则，即主句用一般将来时，从句用一般现在时表示将来。

If it doesn't rain tomorrow, we will go for a picnic.（如果明天不下雨，我们就去野餐。）
