不論你有任何問題或者想法，我們非常歡迎你留下寶貴的意見。今天，我要教你們

to you or teach you about future progressive or future continuous. They're the same. So,

的是時態文法——未來進行式。progressive和continuous意思一樣都是「進行的、連續不斷的」

maybe you've learned future or you're trying to learn "Future progressive", and you look

所以，你或許已經學過未來式，而你正嘗試學「未來進行式」，

on the internet or you look in a textbook and it says: "Future continuous". No fear,

而你往往在網路上或文法書中，看到「未來連續式」。別怕別慌，

ladies and gentlemen, future progressive and future continuous - exactly the same grammar.

各位女士先生，未來「進行式」與「未來連續式」，在文法是上是完全相同的！

They just like to confuse you, and give me a chance to teach you this. So, hallelujah.

文法書上寫的只是容易誤導你的中文翻譯差異。所以，登登登登！就讓我來教你未來進行式到底怎麼使用吧！

And basically, future progressive or future continuous, we're going to use in the future

基本上來說，未來進行/連續式會用在未來時態

for a planned action or an action that we think is going to happen or that will happen

可能是一個預先計畫好的行動，也可能是某個我們預計會發生、或者即將要發生的事情

in the future. There's one very important thing that you must consider about the future

當你要使用未來進行式時，很重要的是——

progressive or future continuous is it must have a "time marker" in the sentence. So if

句子中一定要有個「指標性的時間點」

you do not put a time marker in the sentence, it's wrong. Okay? It's shameful. I don't know

如果句子裡沒有時間副詞，那麼這句未來是就無法成立，懂嗎？說來慚愧，我想我無法解釋

if I can talk to you anymore about it. So do me a favour: please just use a time marker.

為什麼未來式句子裡一定要有指標時間，有時文法就是文法，根本沒有原因嘛。所以，幫個忙，請務必加上指標性時間

Let's go through the basic structure. Future simple, future progressive 101.

讓我們來快速瀏覽一下未來式的基本節結構。有未來簡單、未來進行式（初級）。

We're going to have a subject, we're going to have "will" or "won't" and then we're going to have "be"

句子裡要有個主詞，助動詞will/won't，再來原形動詞be，還要一個動名詞。

and a verb with an "ing". Positive, negative. The question form or the interrogation form,

注意主動/被動、問題式/問診式等

we're going to have "will" plus the subject plus "be" plus verbing.

我們現在要討論的是『S+will+be+Ving』的句型

Now, remember: when you ask someone a question, please ask them in the positive form, because

好，記得當你在問別人一個問題時，請用肯定語氣發問，

for example, if I said: "Won't you be learning English? Won't I be learning English? Yes.

比如，如果你問別人：「你沒有在學英文嗎？（自言自語：「我沒有在學英文嗎？」）有，呃沒有。」

No. Oh. Please, please, please keep it simple: always ask people a positive question. I don't

喔，拜託拜託，讓句子越簡單越好：用肯定語氣提問題。

care what your grammar is, positive questions are always the easiest to answer.

不管你的英文文法學得如何，肯定的問題往往最易懂又好回答

Let's jump to the form. So, example: "I will be eating lunch at 12." I always eat lunch

咱們來看句型，舉例來說：「我12點會吃午餐」，我總是在12點吃午餐

at 12, kind of like a habit that I have. In this sentence, can you tell me where the time

就像習慣性動作。在這個句子裡，你可以告訴我指標時間在哪裡嗎？

marker is? What's the answer? Sorry? At 12. Good answer. Tommy, good one. So, in this

答案是什麼呢？呃再說一次，啊，12點是吧，回答得好啊，Tommy。

sentence, "at 12" is our time marker. Subject, "will be", verbing, then I have my noun, "at

所以，在這句話裡，12點是指標時間，主詞+will be+Ving+時間（12點）

12". I will be eating lunch when? At 12. This is what I plan to happen. This is what I hope

我會在何時吃午餐？12點。這例子是只計畫會發生的事情，也就是我期待要發生的事

will happen; I'm hungry.

我餓了

And in this sentence: "At this time tomorrow, we will be sitting on the beach." Oh, wouldn't

再來看這句：「明天此時，我會坐在海邊」噢，這多棒啊

that be great? If you would like to go to the beach with me, just throw me some money

我如果你想和我一起去海邊，就給我一些錢買機票，

for an airplane ticket, I'll be on the next airplane, I'll be sitting on the beach drinking

我就會搭上你的下一班飛機，跟著你到海邊

some margaritas with you. So: "At this time tomorrow, we will be sitting on the beach."

喝杯雞尾酒享受夏日海風。好拉，拉回正題，「明天此時，我們將一起坐在海邊」

In this sentence, do you know where my time marker is? So we have this big fat one: "At

你知道這句的指標時間在哪嗎？這句的指標時間看起來有點長：

this time tomorrow", so this tells me exactly when in the future I think the action will happen.

"At this time tomorrow"是這句的指標時間，所以，這就明確告訴我們，在未來的什麼時候動作將會發生

"They will be going to Italy this year." Oh, they're lucky. Hi, everyone in Italy. Thanks

再一個例子：「他們預計今年要去義大利玩」，噢，他們真幸運。嗨，義大利朋友們～謝謝你們的收看，

for watching. Besos or bravo, or something Italian there. Good wine, guys. "They will

謝謝你們義大利式的飛吻、歡呼喝彩，黑老兄，好酒啊！

be going to Italy this year." In this sentence we have "this year". The grammar is quite

「他們預計今年要去義大利玩」這句話的指標時間是「今年」，文法超簡單的拉，對吧

easy. Again, subject, "will be" plus verbing. Oh, but maybe something happened and now,

再複習一下，未來進行式的基本句型是『S+will be+Ving』。喔！但或許有些事會發生在現在，

unfortunately... Uh oh. Guess what? Reality: "Ronnie won't be going to Italy this year."

很遺憾的...呃不，猜猜發生什麼事？實際上：Ronnie今年不會去義大利

But if you'd like to send me an airplane ticket to go to Italy, I'll be there. I'll be on

但是，如果你要送我去義大利的機票，那我一定會在那裡等你！我會搭上

the next airplane. I promise. Mm-hmm. Airplane tickets. Donate money. www.engvid.com. Also,

下一班飛機跟隨你，我保證！嗯哼，機票、送錢、Engvid.com。

me some airplane ticket money. I'll hang out with you.

寄給我機票錢，我會陪你一起到處遊走

"We will be sleeping by the time you get home." Sorry: "He", not "me". I'm going to be awake.

「你到家前，我們就會上床睡覺」，抱歉，是「他」不是「我」拉，我大概早就醒來了

"He will be sleeping by the time you get home. In this sentence: "by the time you get home"

「在你到家前，他就會上床睡覺」，「在你到家前」這句話

tells us when in the future the action's going to happen. So what is he going to be doing?

告訴我們，在未來某動作將會發生

"He will be sleeping by the time you get home." Then the party starts, right?

「在你到家前，他會上床睡覺」然後派對就開始了，對吧？

And let's look at the question form, some examples. We are going to use this to check

讓我們來看看幾個例句的問句如何組成，我們會用這個來檢查我暪的計劃

plans. Now, maybe you're going to have a party. And you're like: "Okay, well, what time?"

現在，假設你要辦個派對，那你可能會有個疑惑：「好吧，恩，那派對該辦在幾點呢？」

Well: "Will they be coming at 6 tomorrow?" In this sentence we have two time markers;

嗯...「他們會在明晚六點來嗎？」在這句話裡，有兩個指標時間，

we have a time and the place. So: "Will they be coming at 6 tomorrow?" We need to know

我們有時間和空間兩個元素。所以，用句子「他們會在明晚六點來嗎？」

what the plan is.

已得知計畫目的的實際時間

Will Tommy M...? Hi, Tommy M. "Will Tommy M be emailing Ronnie in the future?" Now,

Tommy M會...？嗨，Tommy M，「Tommy M未來會記電子郵件給Ronnie嗎？」

obviously the future continuous or the future progressive happens in the future, but this

現在，很明顯的，未來進行/連續式句型是用在未來時態中，

also serves as my time marker. Tommy M, email. We have the "will", modal, we have the subject

但是，未來進行式的使用時機也可取決於句子裡的指標時間， Tommy M寄信吧。will是作為未來句的指標單字，

of Tommy M, we have "be" and then verbing.

我們有Tommy M人作主詞，原形be動詞和一個動名詞

If you can think about something, a planned action or a routine that you will be doing

我果你想到某件事，一個計畫的動作或者每天的例行公事，

in the future, let me know. As an example: "I will be buying Ronnie an airplane ticket

都可以跟我分享喔。比如：「我預計要買張去義大利的機票給Ronnie」

to go to Italy." Or anywhere in the world I'd like, except Toronto, I'm already here.

或者除了多倫多以外，到世界上任何國家的機票。相信我，我一定去那等你。

If you plan or if you would like to come to Toronto, I've got something special for you.

如果你計畫或是你想要來多倫多，我會為你準備些特別小禮物喔。

I'm going to be doing special nights and maybe special tours, so you can hang out with me

我會帶你體驗一些特別的夜間活動，或是特別的光觀行程，那你就可以和我到處遊歷
