将来进行时 vs 一般将来时
将来进行时强调动作的持续性,而一般将来时强调动作本身。
示例:
- I will work tomorrow. (一般将来时 - 表示明天要工作这个事实)
- I will be working tomorrow. (将来进行时 - 强调明天正在工作的状态)
将来进行时 vs 现在进行时表将来
两者都可以表示将来的安排,但将来进行时更强调动作的持续性。
示例:
- I am meeting John tomorrow. (现在进行时 - 强调已确定的安排)
- I will be meeting with clients all day tomorrow. (将来进行时 - 强调持续性)

注意事项
不是所有的动词都适合用于进行时态,特别是状态动词:
- ❌ I will be knowing the result tomorrow.
- ✔️ I will know the result tomorrow.
将来进行时常用于表示自然而然会发生的事情,而不是临时决定:
- The sun will be rising at 5 AM tomorrow. (自然发生)
- I will help you with that. (临时决定,用一般将来时)
在时间或条件从句中,要用现在进行时而不是将来进行时:
- When I am working tomorrow (不是 will be working), please don't disturb me.
- If it is raining (不是 will be raining) when we leave, we'll take a taxi.
