一般將來時表示將來某一時刻的動作或狀態，或將來某一段時間內經常的動作或狀態，和表示將來的時間狀語連用，如：tomorrow（明天）， next week（下周 ）；in the future（將來）等。
一般將來時由助動詞shall（第一人稱），will（第二、三人稱） 動詞原形構成（美式英語則不管什麼人稱，一律用will），或用主語+be動詞 + going to 動詞（be going to）。小學娃重點學習下面一、二點，中學娃最好全部都掌握~
一、用will或shall表示。
助動詞will或shall+動詞原形，在口語中will用於所有人稱，書面語中第一人稱常用shall。shall 用於第一人稱I和we表示將來發生的事情，徵求對方的意見或表示客氣的邀請。如：
1. Tomorrow will be Sunday. 明天就是星期天。
2. Shall we go there at five? 我們五點鐘去那兒，好嗎?
3. Will you please open the door? 請你把門打開，好嗎?
will，shall可用來預言將來發生的事。如說出我們設想會發生的事，或者請對方預言將要發生什麼事。例如：
It will rain tomorrow. 明天將要下雨。
will，shall除可表示單純的將來時以外，還可以帶有意願的色彩，仍指的是將來。例如：
I'll buy you a bicycle for your birthday.
你過生日時，我給你買一輛自行車。(表示允諾)
Will you open the door for me please?
請你幫我開門好嗎?(表示請求)
Shall I get your coat for you?
我可以為你拿外套嗎?(表示提議)
二、用be going to結構表示。
1. 表示說話人根據現在已有的跡象，判斷將要或即將發生某種情況。這類句子的主語可以是人，也可是物。例如：
There is going to be a football match in our school tomorrow afternoon.
明天下午我們學校將有一場足球賽。(已有告示)
Look at those black clouds!It's going to rain.
看看那些烏雲!天快要下雨了。
2. 表示主語現在的意圖或現已作出的決定，即打算在最近或將來進行某事。這種意圖或決定往往是事先經過考慮的。例如：
He isn't going to see his grandfather tomorrow.
他明天不準備去看他爺爺。
Mary is going to be a teacher when she grows up.
瑪麗決定長大了當一名教師。
3. 只是單純地預測未來的事，此時可與will互換。例如：
I think it is going to/will rain this evening.
我認為今晚要下雨。
注意：
be going to和will在含義和用法上略有不同。be going to往往表示事先經過考慮的打算;will多表示意願、決心。兩者有時不能互換。例如：
He is studying hard and is going to try for the exams.
他正努力學習，準備參加考試。(不能用will替換)
—Can somebody help me? ——誰能幫我一下嗎?
—I will. ——我來。(不能用be going to替換)
三、用現在進行時表示。
表示位置轉移的動詞(如go，come，leave，start，arrive，return，send，move，travel，fly等)和其它幾個動作動詞(如do，begin，work，spend，play，stay，happen，have，finish，join，eat，die，meet等)常與現在進行時和表示將來的時間狀語連用，表示在最近將要發生某事。這些事是事先安排好的。例如：
The Browns are coming to dinner tomorrow.
明天布朗夫婦要來吃晚飯。
What are you doing tomorrow? 明天你做什麼?
The train is arriving at nine o'clock.
火車將在九點鐘到。
在特定的上下文中，這類動詞有時也可不帶時間狀語。例如：
—Come to school in your old clothes tomorrow .
——明天穿你的舊衣服來上學。
—Why?What's happening ?
——為什麼?有什麼事?
四、用一般現在時表示。
1. 動詞be;表示位置轉移的動詞(如go，come，arrive，leave，return等)和表示「開始，結束」的動詞(如start，begin，open，finish，end，close等)與一般現在時和表示將來的時間狀語連用，表示時間表、節目單或日程表上所安排好的動作或事態將要發生，日程不易改變，口氣肯定。例如：
Are you free next Tuesday evening?
下周二晚上你有空嗎?
Mr Green leaves Beijing for home tomorrow.
格林先生定於明天離京返家。
2. 在由when，before，as soon as，until/till引導的時間狀語從句和由if引導的條件狀語從句中，常用一般現在時表示將來。例如：
If it doesn't rain tomorrow，we』ll go to the East Lake.
如果明天不下雨，我們就去東湖。
I must finish my homework before my mother returns.
我必須在媽媽回來之前做完家庭作業。
3. 在hope後接表示將來時間的賓語從句中，也可用一般現在時代替一般將來時，hope的主語往往是第一人稱。例如：
I hope you(will)have a good holiday.
我希望你假日愉快。
I hope he comes(will come).
我希望他會來。
五、用「be+動詞不定式」或用「be about to +動詞原形」的結構表示。
如：
1. He is to visit Japan next year.
明年他將訪問日本。
2. They’re about to leave. (=They’re leaving.)
他們就要走了。
