表示将来的结构比较多，be going to, shall/will, be to do, be about to;此外还可以用其他时态表示将来，具体如下：一般将来时的四种结构：1. be going to + 动词原形， 1）表示现在打算在最近或将来要做某事，这种打算往往经过事先考虑，甚至已做了某种准备，计划性较强 如：He is going to be a doctor when he grows up. I’m going to buy a new computer this weekend. 2）表示根据某种迹象表明会发生的事情： 如： Look at these black clouds. There is going to be a storm. It’s going to rain. The ice is going to break.2.will+动词原形，will 表示的将来时间则较远一些； He will write a book one day. 表示客观上将来势必发生的事情。 We’ll die without air or water.(没有空气和水我们将要死亡。) He will be twenty years old next year. 或者未事先考虑过，即说话时临时作出的决定。--Jim, have you watered the flowers? ---Not yet. I’ll do it now. 再如：--Tom is ill. --Really? I will go to see him this evening. shall表示将来，主要用于第一人称的疑问句，用于征求意见。 Shall we go hiking on Sunday? When shall we have the party?3. be about to +动词原形表“刚要，正要”，表示非常近的将来。后面一般不跟时间状语如tomorrow 等,但经常构成be about to…when…正要做…就… 如： We are about to leave .我们马上就走。 We were about to leave when the bell rang.4. be to do结构be to +动词原形一是表达预定，按计划或安排将发生，常用以宣布官方的计划或决定；二是表命令，禁止或可能性等。如： Are we to go on with this work? I am to have tea with her this afternoon. The Queen is to visit China next month. You are not to stand there.其他时态表将来 1. 一般现在时表将来 1）按照时刻表要发生的事情： 例：The train leaves at six tomorrow morning. When does the bus start? It starts in ten minutes. 2）在时间或条件句中。 例：When Bill comes （不是will come）, ask him to wait for me. I'll write to you as soon as I arrive there. 2. 现在进行时表示将来 动词come, go, arrive, leave, start, begin, return等表示物体的位置移动，它们的进行时可以表示将来意义。 例：I'm leaving tomorrow. Are you staying here till next week?
