3. 過去將來時的結構

（一）由助動詞“would/should+動詞原形”構成,should主要用于主語是第一人稱時;would可用于各種人稱。 

 He said he would come to see me.

 She told us that she would try her best to catch up with other classmates that  term. 

 I knew you would agree. 

He called to say that he would come home after 10 o''clock

She said she was going to start off at once.

They said that they were going to be sent to meet her at the railway station.

I was told that he was going to return home.

 He told us that he was going to attend the meeting.

此結構還可表示根據(jù)當時情況判斷有可能但不一定會發(fā)生某事。例如：

It seemed as if it was going to rain.

（三）come，go，leave，arrive，start等動詞可用過去進行時代替過去將來時。例如：

　　He said the train was leaving at six the next morning.

She told me she was coming to see me.

　　We were informed that the leaders were coming to our school soon.

（四）條件狀語從句和時間狀語從句中須用一般過去時代替過去將來時。例如：

　　I didn’t know when she would come，but when she came I would let you know.

　　The teacher said that it would be very difficult to make progress if I didn’t work hard.

 (五) was / were to + 動詞原形。如：

　　If I were you, I would not do that.

?。?）was / were going to + 動詞原形；was / were to + 動詞原形；was / were about to + 動詞原形等結構都可表達一種即將實現(xiàn)的意圖或打算。如：

　　The conference was going to be held the next month.

　　We were to have our class at eight.

I was about to tell him about it when Wu Dong got in.

1.賓語從句中的過去將來時；2.過去進行時表過去將來時；3.was/were+不定式表將來；4.was/were about to的用法

1.和一般將來時弄混；2.過去進行表過去將來的動詞記不清；3.was/were about to do 用法不熟悉。

【典型例題】

1.Li Ming said he _____happy if Brian_____to China next month.
A. was; come B. was; would come
C. would be; came D. will be; come

解析：答案C。主將從現(xiàn)的情況放在主句是一般過去的句子中，時態(tài)前推即可。第一空為過去將來時，第二空為一般過去時。
2. Jenny said she _____her holiday in China.
A. spent B. would spent
C. was going to spent D. would spend

解析：答案D。此題難點在于無時間狀語，B和C中spent形式錯誤；比較A和D選項，D項最佳。 “詹尼說她即將在中國度假?！?/span>
3. I hoped Tina ______ to my birthday party on time the next Wednesday. 
A. to come  B. is coming C. will come  D. was coming

解析：答案為D。本題主句是一般過去時，并且根據(jù)時間狀語the next Wednesday, 應用過去將來時；D項為過去進行，可表過去將來，故選之，
4. She ______ to work when the telephone rang.
A. is going     B. will go     
C. was about to go  D.  is to go

解析：be about to do … when…,為固定搭配，表示“當某人即將做某事時某事發(fā)生了”。此題中表示“她正要去上班時電話鈴響了”。正確答案為C。
