像其他進(jìn)行時(shí)態(tài)一樣，這樣的將來(lái)進(jìn)行時(shí)通常和某一時(shí)刻連用，表示一個(gè)動(dòng)作在該時(shí)刻之前開始并且很可能在該時(shí)刻之后仍然繼續(xù)。這種用法最好通過(guò)實(shí)例來(lái)了解。設(shè)想一個(gè)班的學(xué)生上午9點(diǎn)半在做什么，然后可以這樣表達(dá)：

　　Now they are sitting in their classroom.They are listening to a tape. This time tomorrow they will be sitting in the cinema.They will be watching a film.On Saturday there is no class.So on Saturday they will not be sitting in the classroom.They will be doing other things.Bill will be playing tennis. Ann will be shopping.George will still be having breakfast.

　　現(xiàn)在他們正坐在教室里。他們?cè)诼犱浺簟Ｃ魈爝@個(gè)時(shí)候他們會(huì)坐在電影院里看電影。星期六沒(méi)有課。因此，星期六這時(shí)候他們不在教室里。他們會(huì)做別的事情。比爾會(huì)在打網(wǎng)球，安會(huì)去買東西，喬治會(huì)還在吃早飯。外語(yǔ)學(xué)習(xí)網(wǎng)

　　進(jìn)行時(shí)態(tài)也可以和一般現(xiàn)在時(shí)連用：

　　Peter has been invited to dinner with Ann and Tom. He was asked to come at eight but tells another friend that he intends to arrive at seven.The friend tries to dissuade him，‘When you arrive they’ll still be cookingthe meal!’

　　彼得應(yīng)邀與安和湯姆一起吃飯。他們要彼得8點(diǎn)到，但彼得卻告訴另一位朋友說(shuō)他自己想在7點(diǎn)到。那位朋友勸阻他說(shuō)：“你到的時(shí)候，他們還在做飯呢!”
