时态的主流用法都讲完了。今天补充说明一下时态的非主流用法。
1. 进行时表示将来时。
这个用法其实我们早接触过。be going to表示将来时已经讲过，现在重新审视一下be going to，这货披的不就是进行时的马甲嘛！所以进行时表示将来时，用法和be going to do的功能类似，可以表示计划、安排，也可以表示即将发生的事儿。
【例题】
Because the shop ________, all the T-shirts are sold at half price.
A. has closed down B. closed down
C. is closing down D. had closed down
解析：空的后面说所有的T恤衫半价出售，那说明商店是快关门了，才会如此优惠。所以选C，用进行时的形式来行使将来时的功能，表示即将发生的事儿。C项并不是按照进行时翻译成正在关门。如果正在关门，那下闸落锁是分分钟的事儿，还卖个毛线啊。
2. 一般现在时表示一般将来时。
这个分两种情况。
第一种情况就是在具体场合里将要发生的动作实际上是总体上经常发生的一个客观事实，所以可以用一般现在时表示一般将来时。
【例题】
Look at the timetable. Hurry up! Flight 4026 off at 18∶20.
A. takes B. took C. will be taken D.has taken
解析：催促快走，航班要起飞了。貌似要选将来时，但C项是被动语态，所以不符。其实此题是用一般现在时来表示了将来时，因为4026航班在18∶20起飞这事儿是每天都发生的。为什么？因为不出空的地方传达出来这样的意思：Look at the timetable. 时间表上显示的航班起飞时间一定是每天都发生的客观事实。这不又验证了我之前强调过的：不出空的地方更重要！！！最终此题选A。
第二种情况就是我们非常熟悉的表示假设的if条件句中的“主将从现”的原则。比如要表达“如果你来看我，你要给我带一本小说。”，那就要写成：If you come to see me, you will bring me a novel. 这句话表达的两个动作都是未来要发生的（你将要来看我，你将要带一本小说），正常都应该用一般将来时，但if条件句硬性规定，主句正常用一般将来时，但从句要用一般现在时表示将来时，这就是所谓的“主将从现”原则。其实，when等引导的时间状语从句除了表示过去发生的事情(比如 When I got there, I found a house.)，也可以有类似if表示假设的用法，表示还未发生的事儿。就把刚才那个if例句里的if改成when，变成When you come to see me, you will bring me a novel. 结果，意思一样，时态的用法也是一样的，依然采用“主将从现的原则”。总结一下，不管是时间状语从句，还是条件状语从句，只要是用来假设，表示还未发生的事儿，那么就一定要采用“主将从现”的原则。
【例题】
My parents have promised to come to see me before I _______ for Africa.
A. have left B. leave C. left D. will leave
解析：
此句翻译成：在我出发去非洲之前，我父母承诺来看我。根据句意，我还没出发去非洲呢。虽然这句话的主句没有用一般将来时，但已经表达出了将来时的意思，“承诺来看我”就是“将要看我”的意思。所以此句可以看做是用“主将从现”原则来表达假设的句子。我们要填的空在从句部分，所以要采用一般现在时，此题最终选B。
3. 现在进行时和always连用，表示抱怨或指责。
比如You are always making noise.翻译成：你总是很吵！
【例题】
Since I won the big prize, my telephone hasn't stopped ringing. People ________ to ask how I am going to spend the money.
A. phone B. will phone C. were phoning D. are phoning
解析：题目的开头翻译成：自从我获了大奖，我的电话铃就没停过。这已经铺垫好了抱怨的氛围。所以即使空所在的句子省略了always，依然可以放心大胆选择现在进行时，抱怨人们总是打电话问我怎么花这一大笔奖金。所以此题选D。
时态终于到了完结篇，还好，比《火影》、《海贼王》、《柯南》神马的要痛快多了。最后来真题大检测吧。
