用 will 来说将来的事。所有人称形式都一样:will + 动词原形(不加 -s)。口语里常缩写成 'll(I'll、she'll)。两个常见用法:预测(你觉得会发生的事)和承诺或当场决定(你要做的事)。
will + verb
I will call you tomorrow. (a promise)
It will be sunny today. (a prediction)
She'll help you with your bags.
They will arrive at six.
Not "She wills come tomorrow." — say "She will come tomorrow.". will 永远不加 -s,后面的动词保持原形(不加 "to")。
试一试: Look at the sky. I think it ___ later. (will rain / will rains / rains) 答案: will rain — 预测将来的事,用 will + 动词原形:it will rain。"will rains" 多加了一个 -s,而 "rains" 说的是现在,不是将来。
won't = will not
要说 will 的否定,用 won't + 动词原形。(won't = will not。)所有人都一样,不用加 -s。用它来说某件事不会发生(一种预测),或者说你不会去做某件事(一种承诺)。
I won't be late, I promise. (a promise)
Don't worry, it won't rain. (a prediction)
She won't come to the party.
Not "I don't will be late." — say "I won't be late.". will 的否定形式是 won't,绝不是 “don't will”。
试一试: Don't worry, I ___ tell anyone your secret. (won't / don't will / willn't) 答案: won't — will 的否定形式是 won't + 动词原形:I won't tell.(我不会说的。)“Don't will” 和 “willn't” 都不是正确的形式,只有 won't 这一个词才对。
Will you ...?
要问将来的事,或者请别人做什么,就用 Will + 这个人 + 动词原形开头:Will you ...?
Will you be at the meeting tomorrow?
Will you help me with this box?
Will they arrive on time?
试一试: ___ you be home this evening? (Will / Do / Are) 答案: Will — 问将来的事,用 Will 开头:Will you be home?(你会在家吗?)“Do you be” 不是正确的形式,“Are you be” 又把 be 动词重复用了两次。
综合运用
现在把三种用法放在一起:肯定用 will + 动词原形,否定用 won't + 动词原形,提问用 Will you ...? will/won't 后面的动词永远是原形。
I will call, but I won't be late.
Will you help me? Yes, I will.
It won't rain, so we will go out.
试一试: ___ you call me later? Don't worry, I ___ forget. (Will … won't / Do … don't will / Will … willn't) 答案: Will … won't — 要提问,用 Will 开头:Will you call me?(你会打给我吗?)要说否定,用 won't:I won't forget.(我不会忘的。)提问用 Will,否定用 won't。
