用现在进行时来表达未来
现在进行时用来表达将来事情的安排,而这种用法假定有多个人知道这件事,也已经为这件事做了些准备。例如:
- i'm meeting jim at the airport = jim 和我有讨论过这件事。
- i am leaving tomorrow. = 我已经买好我的火车票了。
- we're having a staff meeting next monday = 所有员工都有被告知过这件事。
举例
- is she seeing him tomorrow?
- he isn't working next week.
- they aren't leaving until the end of next year.
- we are staying with friends when we get to boston.
注:第一个例句中的动词「seeing」为进行时,因为意思是「碰面」。
要留意!当未来的动作是时间表中的一部分时,就要用一般现在时。
请注意这两句的差别:
1. we're having a staff meeting next monday = 只有那一次
2. we have a staff meeting every monday
