过去将来时表示在过去某个时间点之后将要发生的动作或状态,其构成主要包括以下三种形式:
一、“would+动词原形”
用法:常用于间接引语,以及描述过去计划或期望的动作。would可用于所有人称,但should仅用于第一人称。
例句:
- He said he would visit Paris next month.(他说下个月将去巴黎旅行。)
- She promised she would finish the report by Friday.(她承诺会在周五前完成报告。)
二、“was/were going to+动词原形”
用法:强调过去的意图或计划,通常带有主观意愿色彩,但无明确计划细节。有时可暗示计划最终未实现。
例句:
- She was going to study medicine, but changed her mind.(她原本打算学医,但改变了主意。)
- We were going to visit the museum, but it started raining.(我们原本打算参观博物馆,但下雨了。)
三、“was/were to+动词原形”或“was/were about to+动词原形”
“was/were to+动词原形”用法:多用于正式语境中,表示预定的安排或计划。
- 例句:The delegation was to arrive at 9 AM the next day.(代表团原定于次日早上9点到达。)
“was/were about to+动词原形”用法:强调动作即将发生,突出紧迫性。
- 例句:I was about to call you when you arrived.(你到的时候我正要给你打电话。)
综上所述,过去将来时的三种形式各有其独特的用法和语境,在实际运用中需要根据具体情况进行选择和搭配。
