【Key structures】
將來進行時
將來進行時由will/shall+be+現在分詞構成，通常用於表示最近或很久的將來正在進行的動作。將來進行時常用來表示說話人設想已經安排好的事。
I’ll be working for my exams next month. 下個月我將用功看書準備考試。
By this time tomorrow, I’ll be lying on the beach.
將來進行時與一般將來時有時表達的意思差不多，但一般將來時中的will經常具有蓄意為之的含義（如表示主語的意願、決心、許諾等），將來進行時不具有這些含義，隻表示單純的將來，或者說隻陳述將來的事實，但它語氣比單用will時委婉客氣。
When will you finish these letters? （如上司對下屬）
When will you be seeing Mr. White? （如下屬對上司）
Mary won’t pay this bill. （她拒絕付帳）
Mary won’t be paying this bill. （將來的事實）
Won’t you join us for dinner? 你來和我們一起吃飯好嗎？（邀請）
Won’t you be joining us for dinner? 你會和我們一起吃飯嗎？（將來的事實）
【語法精粹】
1."The meeting is scheduled to begin at 7 o'clock"
"But__C___a delay."
A. it will be B. there'd be C. there will be D. there is
schedule 按計劃； delay n. 延遲, 拖延和耽誤
it be 它是，be動詞的後麵一旦加名詞, 往往認為主語和名詞之間是等號關係
there be 哪兒有(某地有某物)，有某事發生
There will be a meeting. 那兒將開會
There was a fire. 發生大火
2.He'll leave for Paris before you___C__next week.
A. will come back B. will be back C. come back D. came back
before在這裏是狀語從句的標誌
在狀語從句中不可能出現將來時, 都被一般現在時態取代
3.Our next meeting__C___on 1st December
A. has been held B. will hold C. is to be held D. is holding
be to,將來的標誌, 是將來還是被動
4.Where__C___a will,there is a way.
A. there will have B. has been there C. there is D. there has been.
是個諺語“有誌者事競成”，“哪兒有願望, 哪兒就有路”
where 引導的是地點主語從句
5.It__B___be Wednesday tomorrow.
A. is going to B. will C. is about to D. is to
Will和be going to一般的情況可以互換, 遇上沒有辦法打算和計劃安排的, 隻能用will be（單純的表將來）
be about to 計劃打算； be to 計劃打算； be going to 計劃打算
