2单元语法--将来进行时
一、定义
表示最近的将来正在进行的动作或说话人设想已经安排好的事情。
二、构成(shall用于第一人称，wil用于第二、三人称)
肯定句：主语+shall/will+be+现在分词.
We shall be landing in Paris in sixteen minutes. 我们将在16分钟后在巴黎机场降落。
否定句：主语+shall/will+not+be+现在分词.
Anyhow, you won't be playing for the next few Saturdays. 无论如何，后几个星期六你不许再玩了。
疑问句：Shall/Wil+主语+be+现在分词.
Will you be remaining in the city -Yes, I shall be (remaining in the city).你将来会留在这个城市吗？——是。
疑问代词副词+shall/will+主语+be+现在分词….
What time will she be arriving -She will be arriving at about 8:30 tomorrow morning,
她什么时候到达？——她大概明天上午8点半到达。
三、将来进行时用法
1.将来进行时表示将来某一时间正在进行的动作
What will you be doing this time
2.将来进行时表示表示按时划或安排要发生的动作
I will be seeing you next week.我下个星期来看你。
2.谈论同一件事情时，一般将来进行时的语气更加委婉、礼貌。
例如 boss 问本周六加班吗，可以说：
Will you work this Saturday
而抱着你不来我就偷懒的心情问boss周六来不来，这样说比较礼貌：
Will you be working this Saturday
3.Will可以表示主观的意愿，而will be doing则仅表示客观行为。例如：
He won't borrow me some cash.他不会愿意借钱给我。
四、将来进行时与一般将来时的区别
（1）两者基本用法不一样：将来进行时表示将来某时正在进行的动作，一般将来时表示将来某时将要发生的动作：
What will you be doing this time tomorrow 明天这个时候你会在做什么呢？
What will you do tomorrow？你明天干什么？
(2)两者均可表示将来，但用将来进行时语气更委婉，比较：
When will you finish these letters
你什么什候处理完这些信件？(直接询问，如上司对下属）
When will you be seeing Mr White
你什么时候见怀特先生？(委婉地询问，如下属对上司）
(3)有时一般将来中的will含有“愿意”的意思，而用将来进行时则只是单纯地谈未来情况：
Mary won't pay this bill.玛丽不肯付这笔钱。(表意愿）
Mary won't be paying this bill.不会由玛丽来付钱。(单纯谈未来情况）
forget to do sth:忘记要做某事
switch off/on: 关/开
happen to us：发生在我们身上
save us energy：节省能源
remote control:遥控器
energy-efficient mode：节能模式
no longer：不再
daily routine:日常生活
voice commands:语音指令

in addition:此外
send a warning to:向…...发送警告
