GRAMMAR
Для выражения запланированного будущего (имеется договоренность, план, билеты и т.п.), употребляется PRESENT CONTINUOUS особенно с глаголами, обозначающими движение или действие. В этом случае почти всегда употребляются обстоятельства времени. Эта форма типична для разговорного стиля, а Present Indefinite - для официального стиля.
I’m leaving tomorrow. |
Я уезжаю завтра. |
We’re flying to Paris in the morning. |
Мы вылетаем в Париж утром. |
We are dining out on Saturday. |
Мы обедаем в гостях в субботу. |
He is taking his examination on Friday. |
Он сдает экзамен в пятницу. |
Оборот to be going to употребляется:
Для выражения намерения совершить действие в будущем:
We’re going to get married in June. |
Мы собираемся пожениться в июне. |
How long are you going to stay with us? |
Сколько времени ты собираешься пробыть у нас? |
2 Этот оборот также используется для выражения большой вероятности или неизбежности совершения действий в будущем, так как их признаки очевидны в настоящем: (прогнозируемое будущее).
Watch out! Those boxes are going to fall over! Осторожно! Те коробки сейчас упадут.
The sky is clearing up; the rain is going to stop in a minute. |
Небо проясняется; дождь прекратится через минуту. |
Различие в употребление Present Continuous и to be going to.
Present Continuous подчеркивает наличие предварительной договоренности (назначенного времени встречи, купленного билета и т.п.), а to be going to привлекает внимание к наличию решения о том, что собираются делать:
I am meeting him tomorrow. (Present Continuous) |
Я встречаюсь с ним завтра. (уже есть договоренность) |
I am going to meet him tomorrow. |
Я собираюсь встретиться с ним завтра. (я уже принял решение, но он еще не знает об этом) |
Различие в употребление Future Indefinite и to be going to.
Употребляя оборот to be going to подчеркивают, уже имеется запланированное до момента речи намерение осуществить действие в будущем. Форма Future Indefinite представляет будущие события как просто вероятные факты; либо передает намерения, решения, возникшие в момент разговора.
We have run out of sugar. I know. I’m going to buy some. I’ll buy some when I go shopping. |
У нас кончился сахар. Я знаю. Я собираюсь купить его. Я куплю, когда пойду в магазин. |
