英语中的过去将来时用于表达过去某个时间点之后将要发生的动作或事件,主要有三种形式:'would + 动词原形'用于表示预测或意图;'was/were going to + 动词原形'强调过去的打算和准备;过去进行时则强调过去某个时间点之后正在进行的动作。虽然这些形式之间有细微的差别,但其使用取决于具体的情境和语境。
Would + 动词原形
这是最常见的过去将来时形式,通常用于表示过去某个时间点之后的预测或意图。例如:
- I knew she would come to the party.(我知道她会来参加派对。)
- He said that he would help me with my homework.(他说他会帮我做作业。)
Was/were going to + 动词原形
这种形式也表示过去某个时间点之后的意图或计划,但它更强调过去的打算和准备。例如:
- I was going to buy a new phone, but I changed my mind.(我原本打算买一部新手机,但我改变了主意。)
- They were going to travel to Europe, but their plans fell through.(他们原本打算去欧洲旅行,但计划失败了。)
Past continuous
虽然过去进行时通常用于描述过去某一时刻正在进行的动作,但它也可以用于表示过去将来时。具体来说,它强调在过去某个时间点之后正在进行的动作。例如:
- At 5 pm yesterday, I was taking a shower because I was going to meet my friends at 6.(昨天下午5点,我正在洗澡,因为我打算6点去见我的朋友。)
- They were packing their bags because they were going to leave for vacation the next day.(他们正在收拾行李,因为他们打算第二天离开度假。)
