We will/shall be returning to New York. 将来进行时的用法 1. 表示将来某一时刻或某一段时间里正在进行的动作。 e.g. We will be seeing a fashion show this time tomorrow afternoon. 注意：将来进行时可以与be going to连用。 e.g. I’m going to be working all day tomorrow, so I won’t have time to buy Mother’s present. 将来进行时常用的时间状语有soon, tomorrow, this evening, on Sunday, by this time tomorrow, in two days, tomorrow evening等。 e.g. By this time tomorrow, I’ll be lying on the beach. 将来进行时与现在进行时的几点区别： 1. 现在进行时表示一种经过考虑的、将来要进行的动作， 而将来进行时通常表示正常过程中会发生的动作，因此将来进行时不如现在进行时那样肯定，比后者偶然性要大一些： e.g. I am seeing Tom tomorrow. I’ll be seeing Tom tomorrow. 第一句意指汤姆或说话人已经特意安排了这次会面，而第二句则意指汤姆和说话人将在日常进程中见面。不过这种差别并不是在任何情况下都很重要，而且常常两者都可以使用。 He’ll be taking his exam next week. 也可以说： He is taking his exam next week. He won’t be coming to the party. 也可以说： He isn’t coming to the party. 2. 现在进行时通常用于表示不远的将来的动作， 必须有确定的时间，而将来进行时可以和确定的时间状语连用，也可以不连用；将来进行时既可以表示不远的将来的动作，也可以表示较远的将来的动作。可以说： We are meeting him tomorrow. 但不说 We are meeting him next year. 若使用将来进行时，可以说： We will be meeting him tomorrow / next year. At nine o’clock tonight I ____________ (do) my homework. Don’t call me before seven. I ___________________ (get dressed).
