一起学习时间的英语表达

1）可以直接按照表示时间的数字来读:

     10：56读作 ten fifty-six

      8：30读作 eight thirty

2）正点后的前半小时，不超过30分.通常说几点“过”（past）几分:

      9：25读作 twenty-five past nine/ nine twenty-five

      2：16读作 sixteen past two/ two sixteen

3）正点后的后半小时，超过30分,通常说几点“差”（to）几分。此时，所说的“几点”指的是“正点”后的下一个“正点”:

     10：55读作 ten fifty-five/five to eleven十一点差五分

     8：40读作 eight forty/twenty to nine九点差二十分

4）英语中的15分钟也可以说成“一刻钟”（a quarter）。如果所表述的分钟和15有关，就有三种表达法:

9:15 - nine fifteen九点十五分 ; fifteen past nine九点过十五分 ; a quarter past nine九点一刻

3:45 - three forty-five三点四十五 ;fifteen to four四点差十五分 ; a quarter to four 四点差一刻

Grammar in use语法

◆一般将来时用法

（1）一般将来时表示将要发生的动作或情况:

           I will(shall) arrive tomorrow.我明天到。(还没到,将要到.借助助动词will/shall)

           Will you be free tonight? 你今晚有空吗？

           We won’t (shan’t) be busy this evening. 我们今晚不忙。(won’t是will not的缩写形式,shan’t是shall not的缩写形式)

（2）在一般将来时的句子中，有时有表示将来时间的状语，有时没有时间状语，这时要根据上下文从意思上判断是否指未来的动作或情况。

            Will she come? 她（会）来吗？(表示此时她还没来)

            We’ll only stay for two weeks. 我们只待两星期。(表示计划将要待2个星期,we’ll是we will的缩写形式,也可以用shall替换)

            The meeting won’t last long. 会开不了多久。(表示对将要发生的事情的一种推测)

（3）在以第一人称I或we作主语的问句中，一般使用助动词shall，这时或是征求对方的意见(a)，或是询问一个情况(b)：

   a. Where shall we meet? 我们在哪儿碰头？(表示征求对方的意见)

       b. Shall we have any classes tomorrow?明天我们有课吗？(表示询问一个情况)

       在这类问句中，近年来也有不少人用will，特别是在美国:

               How will I get there? 我怎么去？

（4）be going to+动词原形

             a.表示打算、准备要做的事。

             How are you going to spend your holidays?假期你准备怎样过？

             b.表示即将发生或肯定要发生的事。

              I think it is going to snow(v.) 我看快要下雪了。

             c.“will”句型与“be going to”句型，will表示纯粹将来，无论你是否这么认为,都无法改变的客观性质上的将来;be going to表示打算、计划、准备做的事情，更强调主语的主观意愿。例如：

              Tomorrow will be Saturday. 明天就是周六了。

              Jamie and Jiao Zhi are going to visit Paris this summer.今年夏天Jamie和脚趾打算游览巴黎。
