在一些情況下,一般現(xiàn)在時(shí)能用來(lái)表示將來(lái)時(shí)。
1. 謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞是:come,go,arrive,leave,start,begin,return,live,fly 等,可以表示將來(lái)發(fā)生的動(dòng)作。
? ? The train leaves at six tomorrow morning.
? ? When does the bus start? It starts in ten minutes.
2. 在時(shí)間或條件從句中,一般要用一般現(xiàn)在時(shí)表示將來(lái),而不用一般將來(lái)時(shí)。
? ? When Bill comes,ask him to wait for me.
? ? I'll write to you as soon as I arrive there.
3. 謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞是 hope,take care that,make sure that 等后的賓語(yǔ)從句中,用一般現(xiàn)在時(shí)表示將來(lái)。
? ? I hope they have a nice time next week.
? ? Make sure that the windows are closed before you leave the room.
4.這種時(shí)態(tài)可以和一個(gè)時(shí)間短語(yǔ)連用以表示已確定的、對(duì)將來(lái)的安排:
? ? The boys start school on Monday.男孩們星期一開(kāi)學(xué)。
? ? I leave tonight.我今天晚上動(dòng)身。
5.這一用法代替了較常用的現(xiàn)在進(jìn)行時(shí)態(tài):
? ? The boys are starting school on Monday.男孩兒們星期一就要開(kāi)學(xué)了。
? ? I'm leaving tonight.我今天晚上就動(dòng)身。
