1、一般现在时表示将来

我到了那里,就写信给你。
2、用现在进行时表示将来下列动词come,go,arrive,leave等现在进行时可以表示将来:
I'm leaving tomorrow.
明天我要走了。
四、现在进行时
a. 表示现在(指说话人说话时)正在发生的事情。

例如:The leaves are turning red.
叶子在变红。
It's getting warmer and warmer.

d. 与always,constantly,forever 等词连用,表示反复发生的动作或持续存在的状态,往往带有说话人的主观色彩。

I was doing my homework at this time yesterday.
昨天的这个时候我正在做作业。
They were expecting you yesterday.

难点释疑:
when作并列连词,表示“(这时)突然”之意时,第一个并列分句用过去进行时,when引导的并列分句用一般过去时。
如: I was taking a walk when I met him.
我正在散步,突然遇见了他。
We were playing outside when it began to rain.
我们正在外边玩,这时下起雨来了。
六、将来进行时
1)表示将来某时进行的状态或动作,或按预测将来会发生的事情。例如:

她会很快来的。
I'll be meeting him sometime in the future.
将来我一定去见他。

例如:He is going to visit her aunt t when he arrives in Beijing.
他一到北京,就去看他姨妈……
七、现在完成时
a. 现在完成时可表示过去发生的动作对现在所产生的影响,后面通常不用时间状语,但句中常出现already,just,yet等副词。
如:
Someone has broken the window.
有人把窗户打破了。
I've just finished reading the novel.
我刚刚读完这本小说。
Have you seen the doctor yet?
你看过医生了吗?
注:already和yet用法上的区别already常用于肯定句,置于句中。yet常用于否定句和疑问句,常用于句末。但already有时也可用语疑问句中暗示惊讶的心情。
b. 现在完成时也可表示从过去某时开始的动作,状态一直持续到现在,常和for,since引导的时间状语连用。
如:
I have learned English for 5 years. He has lived in Beijing since he was born.
注:

(2)表示继续的现在完成时也可和lately,recently,so far,up to now,till now,in the past (last) few years…, this week (month, year……), all day, all this week等时间状语连用。

难点释疑:
1.点动词与延续性动词的区别。
所谓点动词是指含有终止或短暂意义的动词。如:begin,end,die,buy,borrow,come,arrive,join,marry 等动词。它们通常不与表示一段时间的状语连用。如: I have bought a book.我买了一本书。

这本书我已经买了三星期了。
2. have got的含义。have got形式上是现在完成时,却和have是同一个意思She has got a slight temperature. She has a slight temperature.

This is the first time (that) I've heard him sing.
这是我第一次听他唱歌。
八、过去完成时
(1)表示在过去某一时刻或动作以前完成了的动作,即“过去的过去”。可以用by,before等介词短语或一个时间状语从句来表示,也可以用一个表示过去的动作来表示,还可能通过上下文来表示。

(3)叙述过去发生的事情,在已叙述了过去发生的事情后,反过来追述或补述以前发生的动作时,常使用过去完成时。
例如:Mr. Smith died yesterday. He had been a good friend of mine.
史密斯先生昨天去世了。他以前是我的好友。
I didn't know a thing about the verbs, for I had not studied my lesson.
我对动词一无所知,因为我没有好好学习功课。

例如:I returned the book that I had borrowed.
我已归还了我借的书。
She found the key that she had lost.
她丢失的钥匙找到了。
(5)过去完成时常常用在宾语从句(或间接引语)中,这时从句中的动作发生在主句表示的过去的动作之前。
例如:He said that he had known her well.
他说他很熟悉她。
I thought I had sent the letter a week before.

例如: Hardly had he began to speak when the audience interrupted him.
他刚开始演讲,听众就打断了他。
No sooner had he arrived than he went away again.
他刚到就又走了。
九、将来完成时

例如:They will have been married for 20 years by then.
到那时他们结婚将有二十年了。
