一般将来时

一、一般将来时的定义
一般将来时表示在现在看来即将要发生的动作或存在的状态。常用时间副词tomorrow,
soon或短语next year week month, in a few days, in the future, sometime 做状语。如：
What will you do this afternoon. 你今天下午干什么？
We will have a meeting tomorrow. 我们明天要开会。
He is going to study abroad next year. 明年他要出国学习。
二、一般将来时的基本用法及构成

一般将来时的基本用法是表示单纯的将来事实，由“will shall + 动词原形”构成：

We shall have a lot of rain next month. 下个月将下很多雨。

I think she will pass the exam. 我想他考试会及格的。

三、表示将来时间的几种常见方法

英语中除了“will shall+动词原形”表示半来时态外，还可以有以下多种方法：

(1) 用“be going to+动词原形”表示。主要表示打算和预测：

We are not going to stay there long. 我们不准备在那里多待。(表打算)

I’m afraid they’re going to lose the game. 恐怕他们会赛输。(表预测)

Look, it’s going to rain. 瞧，要下雨了。(表预见)

注：be going to 后接动词go和come时，通常直接改用其进行时态：

Where is he going to go? Where is he going? 他打算到哪里去？

(2) 用“be to+动词原形”表示。主要表示按计划或安排即将要发生的动作；有时也表
示命令、禁止或可能性：

He is to leave for Beijing tomorrow. 他决定明天去北京。

Tell him he’s not to be back late. 告诉他不准迟回。

(3) 用“be about to+动词原形”表示。主要表示即将要发生的事：

He is about to leave. 他即将要离开。

Sit down, everyone. The film is about to start. 大家坐好，电影马上就要开发始了。

注：该结构通常不与具体的时间状语连用：

误：He is about to leave soon [tomorrow].

另外，该结构在美国英语中还可表示“打算”(主要用于否定句)：

I’m not about to lend him any more money. 我不打算再借给他任何钱。

(4) 用“be due to+动词原形”表示。主要表示按计划或时间表将要发生某事：

He is due to leave very soon. 他很快就要离开。

His book is due to be published in October. 他的书计划10月份出版。

(5) 用“现在进行时”(即be＋现在分词)表示。主要表示按计划或安排要发生的事：

The students are leaving on Sunday. 学生们星期日出发。

We’re having a party next week. 我们下星期将开一个晚会。

注：该用法有时表示即将发生的动作：

I’m leaving. 我走了。

(6) 用“一般现在时”表示。表示按规定或时间表预计要发生的事：

The train leaves at 7:25 this evening. 火车今晚7:25分开。

Tomorrow is Wednesday. 明天是星期三。

We have a holiday tomorrow. 我们明天放假。

注：在表示时间、条件等的状语 从句以及某些名词性从句、定语从句等中，也用一般现
在时表示将来意义，参见“时态详解：一般现在时 ”的有关用法。

四、三种将来时间表示法的比较

(1) “will shall＋动词原形”与“be going to ＋动词原形”

两者均可表示将来时间和意图，两者有时可换用：

I think it’ll rain this evening. I think it’s going to rain this evening. 我想今晚会下雨。

I won’t tell you about it. I’m not going to tell you about it. 我不会把这事告诉你的。

但有时有差别：

① 若是强调某个意图是经过事先考虑好的，则通常要用be going to；若是表示某个意图
没有经 过事先考虑，而是在说话的当时才临时想到的，则通常用will。比较：

安住院了。”“啊，真
的吗？我还不知道。我要去看看她。” (临时想法，不能用be going to)

安住院了。”“我知道，
我打算明天去看看她。” (事先考虑的意图，不能用will)

② 若是有迹象表明要发生某事，通常只用be going to，不用will：

Look at those black clouds. It’s going to rain. 看那些乌云，要下雨了。

③ 带有时间或条件状语从句的主句通常不宜用be going to，而用will：

When he comes back, I will tell him the news. 他回来时我就告诉他这个消息。

If he comes back, I will tell him the news. 他若回来我就告诉他这个消息。

(2)“be going to+动词原形”与“现在进行时”

本文档如对你有帮助，请帮忙下载支持！
① be going to主要表示主观想法或意图，而现在进行进表示将来则主要已经强调作出的
安排。比较：

I’m going to wash the car if I have time. 若有时间我想洗洗车。(主观想法)

I’m picking you up at 6; don’t forget. 我6点钟来接你，不要忘了。(已作出的安排)

② 但是当要表示主观无法控制的预测时，通常要用be going to，不能用现在进行时态：

It’s going to snow before long. 不久会下雪。

Things are going to get better soon. 情况很快就会好起来。

③ 当表示坚持要(不要)某人做某事时，两者均可用：

She’s taking [going to take] that medicine whether he likes it or not. 不管她喜欢不喜欢，她
都得吃那药。

You’re not wearing [going to wear] that skirt to school. 你不可以穿那条裙子去上学。

(3) “be going to+动词原形”与“be to+动词原形”的区别

两者均可表示按计划或安排要发生的动作，有时可互换(但be to比be going to正式)：

Where are we going to stay tonight? 我们今晚住哪里？

I’m (going) to play tennis this afternoon. 我打算今天下午打网球。

另外，be going to 还可表示预测，即根据已有迹象预测将要发生的动作，此时不能用be
to：

Look, it’s going to rain. 看，要下雨了。

五、典型一般将来时考题详解

【例1】Turn on the television or open a magazine and you __________ advertisements
showing happy families

A. will often see B. often see

C. are often seeing D. have often seen

分析：A。这是“祈使句+and +陈述句”句型 ，祈使句相当于一个条件状语从句，and后
的陈述句的谓语用一般将来时，这是一个较为固定的句型。

【例2】He was hoping to go abroad but his parents __________ that they won’t support him
unless he can borrow money from the bank.

A. were deciding B. have decided

C. decided D. will decide

分析：B。因宾语从句中的时态是一般将来时，主句中的谓语 动词不可能是过去时态，
排除选项A和D; 由语境判断，不是“将要决定”，而是“现在已经决定”，所以排除D，而选
B。

【例3】 —How can I apply for an online course?

本文档如对你有帮助，请帮忙下载支持！
—Just fill out this form and we __________ what we can do four you.

A. see B. are seeing

C. have seen D. will see

分析：D。表示将要发生的情况，自然是用一般将来时。

【例4】If their marketing plans succeed, they _________ their sales by 20 percent.

A. will increase B. have been increasing

C. have increased D. would be increasing

分析：A。由于if条件从句用的是一般现在时，所以其相应的主句宜用一般将来时。

【例5】 Population experts predict that most people _________ in cities in the near future.

A. live B. would live

C. will live D. have lived

分析：C。根据句中的in the near future可知要用一般将来时。

【例6】When I talked with my grandma on the phone, she sounded weak, but by the time
we ________ up, her voice had been full of life.

A. were hanging B. had hung

C. hung D. would hang

分析：C。从逻辑上说，当我在电话里和奶奶聊天 时，她的声音听起来很虚弱；但到我
们要挂电话时，她的声音又充满朝气。从逻辑上说，应该是“奶奶的 声音又充满朝气”在先，
“我们挂断电话”在后，如果是反过来的话，那说话者就无法听知道“奶奶的声 音又充满朝气”
之回事了。所以“挂断电话”应用一般过去时。另外，由于by the time后接 的定语从句通常要
用一般现在时代替一般将来时，用一般过去时代替过去将来时，所以选项D不能选。< br>
【例7】—Ann is in hospital.

—Oh, really? I ________ know. I ________ go and visit her.

A. didn’t; am going to B. don’t; would

C. don’t; will D. didn’t; will

分析：D。根据句意，在此之前说话人不知道安住院了，因 此第一空用一般过去时；说
话人打算去看她，这个动作还没发生，因此第二空用一般将来时。注意be going to与will
表示将来的区别：表示临时的决定，要用be going to，不用 will(

【例8】I’ll go to the library as soon as I finish what I ______.

A. was doing B. am doing

C. have done D. had been doing

分析：B。句意是：我一完成我做的工作就去图书馆。 由于“去图书馆”用的是一般将来
时，说明要完成的工作是“现在”正在做的事情，故用现在进行时。又 如：

He is studying architecture. 他在学习建筑。

The ambulance is carrying wounded people to the nearest hospital. 救护车正在把受伤的人
送到最近的医院。

一般过去时

一、
一般过去时的定义

一般过去时表示过去 某一时候或某一段时间所发生了的事情或存在的状态。常与过去时
间yesterday, this morning, just now, a moment ago, in May, last night year week, once upon a
time, the other day, in the past 等连用。如：

What did you do yesterday? 昨天你干了什么？

I met Lin Tao this morning. 今天上午我会到了林涛。

I was there a moment ago. 刚才我在那儿。

二、一般过去时的应用
1. 一般过去时表示过去
(1) 表示过去发生的动作或存在的状态：
He bought the computer five years ago. 这电脑是他五年前买的。
It was then a small fishing village．那时它只是一个小渔村。
(2) 表示过去经常性或习惯性的动作：
We often played together when we were children．我们小时候常在一起玩。
注：表过去习惯性的动词，也可用used to或would：
He used to go to work by bus. 他过去常乘公共汽车去上班。
2. 一般过去时表示现在
(1) 在宾语从句中，由于时态呼应的关系，可用一般过去时表示现在：
I didn’t know you were here. 我不知道你在这儿。(were实际上指现在)
I didn’t know you were so busy．我没想到你这么忙。(were实际上指现在)
(2) 表示客气委婉的现在

I thought you might like some flowers. 我想您也许想要些花。
注：能这样有的动词主要限于want, wonder, think, hope, intend等少数动词。
(3) 用于某些特殊结构中表示现在

本文档如对你有帮助，请帮忙下载支持！
注：该用法主要用于it’s time, I wish, I’d rather, if only, as if, as though 等少数结构后接从
句的情形，其中有些结构后面的句子还可用一般过去时表示将来：
I’d rather you come next Monday. 我宁愿你下周星期一来。
另外表主观想法的虚拟条件句也用一般过去时表示现在：
If I had the money now I’d buy a car. 假若我现在有钱，我就买辆小汽车。(from
三、一般过去时对谓语动词的要求
一般过去时的谓语动词要用动词的过去式。动词过去式的构 成分规则变化和不规则变化
两种形式，
不规则变化通常需要逐个记忆，规则变化则遵循以下原则 ：
(1) 一般在动词后加-ed。如：play—played, offer—offered, weigh—weighed,
destroy— destroyed, sign—signed.
(2) 在以字母e结尾的动词后，只加-d。如：like—liked, provide—provided, hate — hated,
date—dated。
(3) 在以“辅音字母+y”结尾的动词后，则改y为i，再加—ed。如：supply—supplied,
fly—flied, study— studied. (from
(4) 在以单短元音的重读闭音节结尾且，末尾只有一个辅音字母的动词后，双写最后一
个辅音字母，再加- ed。如：plan—planned, refer—referred, regret—regretted, ban—banned.
四、特别说明

有些动词的过去时，如：expect, hope, intend, plan, wanted 等一般过去时，后接不定式
的完成时；或它们的过去完成时接不定式的一般式，都可表示过去未曾实现的 意图、打算或
希望。如：

I hoped to have been invited to his wedding party. —I had hoped to be invited to his wedding
ceremony. 我本希望他来邀请我参加他的婚礼。

I intended to have joined their games. —I had intended to join their games. 我本打算参加他
们的比赛。

8. —I hear Jane has gone to the Holy Island for her holiday.
—Oh, how nice! Do you know when she ______?

earthquake struck.

因为主语是单数the teacher，所以只有A正确。

11. The discussion ____ alive when an interesting topic was brought in.

A. was coming B. had come C. has come D. came

12. She ______her hairstyle in her hometown before she came to Chongqing for a better job.

14. It is said that the early European playing-cards ______ for entertainment and education.

A. were being designed B. have designed

C. have been designed D. were designed

went to America.

A. worked B. would work C. would be working D. has been working

由于前 后两个动作用的都是一般过去时，显然中间的“在那儿住了几年”应用一般过去时。

19. As the years passed, many occasions—birthdays, awards, graduations — ______ with
Dad’s flowers.

A. are marked B. were marked C. have marked D. had marked

解析：答案选 B。由于句中增加了插入成分birthdays, awards, graduations，使得句子的

被动语态; 再根据句中的passed的时态特点可知，空格处也应用一般过去时，故选B。

20. —Ouch! You hurt me!

本文档如对你有帮助，请帮忙下载支持！

情况的假设，故用了would never have been这样的形式。

23. The play had already been on for quite some time when we ______ at the New Theatre.

A. have arrived B. arrived C. had arrived D. arrive

解析：答案选 B。由于句中的had already been用的 是过去完成时，而根据句意，arrive
显然应发生在其后，故要用一般过去时。全句意为：当我们到 达新剧院时，戏已经演了好一
会儿了。

24. When I called you this morning, nobody answered the phone. Where ______?

A. did you go B. have you gone C. were you D. had you been

C
。句子的前半句说上午打电话时没有人接电话，而后半句 问对方当时在什么地
方。显然，句子前后两部分的时间应一致，即用一般过去时。

25. The hotel wasn’t particularly good. But I ______ in many worse hotels.

A. was staying B. stayed C. would stay D. had stayed

解析：D。根据The hotel wasn’t particularly good这一句中的一般过去时可推知stay in

brother ______ on the phone all the time!

A. was talking B. has been talking C. has talked D. talked

27. We first met on a train in 2000. We both felt immediately that we ______ each other for
years.

A. knew B. have known C. had known D. know

解析：答案选 C。根据主句中的felt可知，其后的宾语从句应用过去时态，故 可排除B
和D；再根据语境和句中的for years可知用过去完成时比用一般过去时更佳。

28. —Have you known Dr. Jackson for a long time?

—Yes, since she ______ the Chinese Society.

A. has joined B. joins C. had joined D. joined

解析：答案选 D。since she join the Chinese Society为I have known Dr. Jackson since she
join the Chinese Society 之省略。连词since所搭配的时态通常是：主句用现在完成时，从句
用一般过去时。

29. If you don’t like the drink you ______ just leave it and try a different one.
A. ordered B. are ordering C. will order D. had ordered
解析：答案选 A。句子的意思是：如果你不喜欢你点的饮料，把它放在一边 ，另外试一
种。根据此句意可知，“点饮料”已经发生了，否则怎么知道自己不喜欢呢？所以空格处用一
般过去时。又如：
I accelerated and left the other cars behind. 我加速行驶，把其他的车子抛在后面。
He asked her to marry him and she accepted him. 他向她求婚，她同意了。
30. —Have you known Dr Jackson for a long time?

—Yes, since she ______ the Chinese Society.(

A. has joined B. joins C. had joined D. joined

用一般过去时。

31. If the weather had been better, we could have had a picnic. But it ______ all day.

A. rained B. rains C. has rained D. is raining

解析：答案选 A。本题使用了虚拟语气作为命题背景，且该虚拟语气谈的是过去情况（根
据句中的had been和could have had可知），句意为“要是（当时）天气好一点，我们就可
以去野 餐了”。该虚拟语气的言外之意是“（由于天气不好）我们没有去野餐”。为什么没去
呢？but后说的 就是其原因：整天都在下雨。以上综合以上语境分析，空格处只能填一般过
去时。

32. —Did you go to the show last night?

—Yeah. Every boy and girl in the area ______ invited.

A. were B. have been C. has been D. was

解析：答案选 D。此题既考查时态的用法，同时又考查主语一致。根据问句中的时态和
last night这一短语 可知，此处谈的是昨晚的事，故应用一般过去时，而不用现在完成时。另
外，根据英语语法，当两个或多 个名词并列作主语，且受到every的修饰时，其后谓语动词
要用单数。故答案选D。

33. He ______ football regularly for many years when he was young.

A. was playing B. played C. has played D. had played

解析：答案选 B。根据句中的when he was young可知，主句时态宜用一般过去时，句

A. studied B. study C. was studying D. had studied

解析：答案选 A。根据句意及句中时间状语for four years可推知，空格处该用一般过 去
时或现在完成时；由于选项中没有现在完成时，故用一般过去时。

36. — The food here is nice enough.

— My friend ______ me a right place.

A. introduces B. introduced C. had introduced D. was introducing

解析：答案选 B。根据对话内容可知，此刻说话者就在其 朋友介绍的那个餐馆用餐，所
以其朋友给他们介绍这家餐馆肯定是在此之前，故用一般过去时。即选B。 顺便说一句，这
道题中的My friend introduced me a right pla ce有两处惯用法问题：一是introduce习惯上不接
双宾语；二是introduce表示“介 绍”时，主要用于介绍两个不认识的互相认识，或是向听众
或观众宣布并介绍演讲者或广播、节目等的细 节。此句中的“介绍”其实是指“推荐”，故应用
recommend，即应改为：My friend recommended me a right place.

37. Edward, you play so well. But I ______ you played the piano.

A. didn’t know B. hadn’t known C. don’t know D. haven’t known

解析：答案选 A。根据句意可知，说话者是“过去”不知道，现在已经知道了， 因此句子
用一般过去时。句意为：爱德华，你弹得太好了。但我之前不知道你会弹钢琴。又如：Hell o!
I didn’t know you were in London. How long have you been here? 你好! 我之前不知道你在伦
敦。你在这里多久了?

38. Scientists have many theories about how the universe ______ into being.

A. came B. was coming C. had come D. would come

关于宇宙如何形成科学家们有很多推测。又如：When did the world come into being? 世界是
何时开始存在的?

39. When I talked with my grandma on the phone, she sounded weak, but by the time
we ______ up, her voice had been full of life.

本文档如对你有帮助，请帮忙下载支持！
A. were hanging B. had hung C. hung D. would hang

解析：答案选 C。从逻辑上说，当我在电话里和奶奶聊 天时，她的声音听起来很虚弱；
但到我们要挂电话时，她的声音又充满朝气。从逻辑上说，应该是“奶奶 的声音又充满朝气”
在先，“我们挂断电话”在后，如果是反过来的话，那说话者就无法听知道“奶奶的 声音又充
满朝气”之回事了。所以“挂断电话”应用一般过去时。另外，由于by the time后 接的定语从
句通常要用一般现在时代替一般将来时，用一般过去时代替过去将来时，所以选项D不能选。

40. I was out of town at the time, so I don’t know exactly how it ______.

A. was happening B. happened C. happens D. has happened

解析：答案选 B。根据前面句中的一般过去时was可知 ，事情发生在过去，所以happen
也宜用一般过去时。句意为：当时我不在镇上，所以我不是很清楚 事情是怎么发生的。

41. —What do you think of the movie?

—It’s fantastic. The only pity is that I ______ the beginning.

A. missed B. had missed C. miss D. would miss

影，所以“错过电影的开头”应用一般过去时。

42. —I’ve got to go now.(

—Must you? I ______ you could stay for dinner with us.

A. think B. thought C. have thought D. am thinking

解析：答案选 B。既然现在对方提出要走了，所以，以为对方要留下来吃晚饭的想法肯
定就是 过去想法，故用一般过去时。I thought…在这类句型中通常译为“我原以为……”“我还
以为……”。又如：I thought you’d be like your sister, but you’re quite different. 我本以为你会
