The difference between the simple future tense and future progressive tense.
1. 时间确定性不同
一般将来时对于动作发生的时间表述相对较宽泛,仅表示某一动作会在将来发生。
例:“She will come next week.”
将来进行时往往暗示在一个较为明确的时间点,强调动作在将来某个时间正在进行。
例:“At six o'clock this evening, we will be having cakes.”
不确定下周的具体时间。
有具体的动作发生时间
15
2. 发生的可能性大小不同
一般将来时表示将来要发生的动作或存在的状态,侧重对未来事件的单纯预测或意愿,发生的可能性相对较小。
例:“Mary won’t buy the skirt.”(玛丽不肯买这件裙子)
将来进行时则强调在将来某个特定时间正在进行的动作,更强调动作的持续性和计划性,发生的可能性相对较大。
例:“This time tomorrow I will be flying to New York.”
The difference between the simple future tense and future progressive tense.
这里表明玛丽买裙子的意愿较小,可能性较小
突出了明天这个特定时间正在进行的动作
16
3. 语气和情感不同
一般将来时语气比较直接和肯定。
例:“He will help you.”
“When will you finish these letters?”
(你什么时候处理完这些信件?)
将来进行时有时带有一种亲切、委婉或礼貌的语气。
例:“When will you be seeing Mr White?”
(你什么时候见怀特先生呢?)
The difference between the simple future tense and future progressive tense.
(他会帮助你)
语气肯定
直接询问
委婉地询问
17
4.对动作的侧重点不同
一般将来时更侧重于动作的整体发生或结果。
例:“He will finish the work by Friday.”
(他将在周五前完成工作。)
将来进行时更关注动作在特定时间的进行过程。
例:“At five o'clock, she will be typing the report.”
(五点时,她将正在打报告。)
The difference between the simple future tense and future progressive tense.
强调完成这个结果
重点在正在打字的过程
