语法点:将来进行时 (Future Continuous)
将来进行时表示在将来某一时刻或某一段时间里正在进行的动作,强调动作的“持续性”和“过程”。它也常用来说明按计划、按安排将会发生的事,语气比一般将来时更自然、更客气,不带主观意愿。本课用它描述 Greenwood Boys 明天及未来几天的行程安排。常搭配 tomorrow、at this time tomorrow、during this time 等将来时间状语。
结构
| 形式 | 结构 | 例句 |
|---|---|---|
| 肯定 | 主语 + will be + 动词-ing | They will be arriving here tomorrow. |
| 否定 | 主语 + will not (won't) be + 动词-ing | They won't be staying for long. |
| 一般疑问 | Will + 主语 + be + 动词-ing? | Will they be singing tomorrow? |
| 特殊疑问 | 疑问词 + will + 主语 + be + 动词-ing? | When will they be arriving? |
对比:一般将来时 will + 动词原形 只说“会发生”;将来进行时强调“到时候正在进行”或“已安排好”。

易错点
- ❌ They will arriving here tomorrow. → ✅ They will be arriving here tomorrow. — will 后面必须加 be,不能直接接 -ing。
- ❌ They will be arrive here tomorrow. → ✅ They will be arriving here tomorrow. — be 后面的动词要用 -ing 形式。
- ❌ Will they singing tomorrow evening? → ✅ Will they be singing tomorrow evening? — 疑问句把 will 提前,be 仍然要保留。
- ❌ They will be staying here since Monday. → ✅ They will be staying here for five days. — 表示持续一段时间用 for + 时间段,since 用于完成时。
