在英语里, 当句子的主句为将来时态时, 它 所引导的时间状语从句和条件状语从句都 使用一般现在时来表示将来时间, 这在英语 里被称为“主将从现”。主句的将来时态 并不仅限于我们这一课里所学习到的will+ 动词原形构成的一般将来时, 还包括be going to+动词原形、be doing所表示的一 般将来时以及我们以后会学到的其它的将 来时态。例如:
If you do, you’ll be sorry. If they have it today, half the class won’t come. If we ask people to bring food, they’ll just bring potato chips and chocolate.
•What is he going to do when he grows up? •他长大了想干什么? •We are leaving for Amoy tomorrow if it doesn’t rain. 如果明天不下雨, 我们就去厦门。 •We will buy that microwave next week if its price keeps going down. 如果价格持续下降, 下个礼拜我们就买那 台微波炉。
