（一）：将来时间的表示shall和will的用法
英语中将来时间的表示有多种方法，表示说话后将要发生的动作或者状态。
1.shall/will 动词原形
英国英语中shall用于第一人称，will用于第二、三人称，而美国英语中will也用于第一人称，现在趋向各个人称都用will。比如：
They will fly to Rome the day after tomorrow.
他们后天将飞往罗马。
I shall/will begin my new job in a week.
我再过一个星期将要开始我新的工作。
She will be here in a minute.
她过一会儿就到。
有时候句中不一定有表示将来时间的状语，而是通过上下文情景表示动作或状态将要发生。比如：
Who will speak first at the meeting?
谁将在会上第一个发言?
Don't worry about them. They will be all right.
不要为他们担心。他们一切都会好的。
(二)： 将来时间的表示be going to 动词原形
1、表示事先打算，有意图要发生的动作。
I'm going to watch a football match in the stadium tomorrow.
我打算明天到体育场观看一场足球比赛。
They are going to set up a new hospital here next year.
他们打算明年在这儿办一所新医院。
He is going to spend his Christmas holidays at his uncle's.
他准备在他叔叔家度圣诞假期。
2、表示客观情况下（非主观打算）即将要发生的动作。比如：
Look at the clouds. It's going to rain.
看那些云。天要下雨了。
It's freezing cold. It's going to snow,I think.
天很冷。我看要下雪了。
Look, the milk is going to boil.
瞧，牛奶要开了。
Look out! The wall is going to fall.
当心！这堵墙要倒了。
3、现在进行时
现在进行时可以表示计划中安排要发生的动作，仅限于少数表示位置转移的动作动词，如come, go, leave, arrive, fly等。比如：
The train is leaving in five minutes.
火车过五分钟开。
We'd better wait for him. He is coming soon.
我们最好等他。他马上就来。
The plane is taking off in a few minutes.
飞机再过几分钟起飞。
Fasten your seat belt, everyone. Our plane is landing soon.
大家系好安全带。飞机就要着落了。
(三）、过去将来时间的表示
表示从过某一时间预测将要发生的动作或者状态，只要将助动词改为过去时即可，即should/would 动词原形，was/were going to 动词原形或者过去进行时。比如：
He told us that he would spend the weekend in the village.
他告诉我们他将在这个村里度周末。
The teacher said that we should/would have a test the next day.
老师说我们次日将有一次测验。
