Question

小学英语语法讲解：一般将来时

Answer 1

一般将来时主要用于：

表示将要发生的动作或情况

e.g. Tom will have a bike of his own.

与这个时态连用的时间状语常用：

tonight, tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, next week, in three hours, two days later 等。

一般将来时态与其它结构表将来情况的区别：

一般将来时态 ：主要从时间的角度表将要发生的动作或情况。

be going to 结构 ：①表(主观上)打算或准备做某事时。 ②表有发生某事的预兆时。

e.g. They are going to have a competition with us in studies. It is going to rain.

据以上区别，故下面一句是错的：

I am going to be eighteen years old next year.

应改为： I shall be eighteen years old next year.

be about to do sth 结构 ：意为"刚要做某事"、"马上要做某事"强调时间之紧迫性。

e.g. We are about to discuss this problem.
