[動(dòng)詞的時(shí)態(tài)]一般現(xiàn)在時(shí)代替一般將來(lái)時(shí)
When, while, before, after, till, once, as soon as, so long as, by the time, if, in case (that), unless, even if, whether, the moment, the minute, the day, the year, immediately等引導(dǎo)的時(shí)間狀語(yǔ)從句,條件句中,用一般現(xiàn)在時(shí)代替將來(lái)時(shí)。例如:
He is going to visit her aunt the day he arrives in Beijing. 他一到北京,就去看他姨媽。
典型例題
(1)He said he________me a present unless I_______ in doing the experiment.
A. had not given; had not succeeded B. would not give; succeeded
C. will not give; succeed D. would not give; will succeed.
答案B. 在時(shí)間,條件或讓步主語(yǔ)從句中一般不用將來(lái)時(shí)。本題有He said,故為過(guò)去式。主句用將來(lái)時(shí),故選B. 此處用一般過(guò)去式代替了過(guò)去將來(lái)時(shí)。
(2) 表示現(xiàn)在已安排好的未來(lái)事項(xiàng),行程等活動(dòng)。例如:
The museum opens at ten tomorrow. 博物館明天10點(diǎn)開(kāi)門(mén)。(實(shí)際上每天如此。)
