現(xiàn)在進行時和將來進行時都表示一種持續(xù)性動作。而現(xiàn)在進行時有時可以表達未來意味，那該如何和將來進行時區(qū)分呢？

The present continuous and the future continuous can both be used to talk about our future plans.
現(xiàn)在進行時和將來進行時都可以用于描述未來的計劃。

The present continuous tense
現(xiàn)在進行時

Form: is/am / are + ing form of the verb
形式：is/am / are +動詞ing

We often use the present continuous tense with a future meaning. This tense form is used to talk about things that have already been decided or plans that have already been made.
我們經(jīng)常使用現(xiàn)在進行時來代表未來的意味。描述一件已經(jīng)決定好的事或者已經(jīng)準備要做的事。

As you can see, present continuous and going to can both be used with very similar meanings.
就像你所知道的，現(xiàn)在進行時和going to可以表達相似的意味。

Generally speaking, the present continuous tense is used to talk about our social or work plans. It is normally used with a future time reference.
一般來說，現(xiàn)在進行時用來談論我們的社交或工作計劃。經(jīng)常和未來的時間一起使用。

What are you doing this weekend?
這周末你要做什么？

I am fixing the roof.
我正在修屋頂。

Going to, on the other hand, puts an emphasis on the idea of intention.
從另一方面來說going to更強調(diào)目的性。

Future continuous tense
將來進行時

Form: will / shall + be + -ing
形式：will/shall+be+ing

I will be seeing your dad tomorrow.
我明天會見你的爸爸。

The future continuous tense is used to suggest that a future event will be in progress over a limited period of time in the future.
將來進行時用于提出一個未來某一時間會發(fā)生的事。

I will be spending one or two weeks in France.
我會在法國待1、2個星期。

Here the auxiliary ‘will’ indicates future whereas the continuous verb ‘be spending’ indicates continuity.
這里的助詞“will”指示未來，而進行時態(tài)的動詞“be spending”指示延續(xù)性動作。

Use this tense form to suggest that an activity will be happening at a certain time in the future, and that this activity will last for a limited period of time.
我們使用這個時態(tài)提出一項活動會在未來某個確切時間發(fā)生、并持續(xù)一段時間。

So, here are the most important points again.
因此，這里再強調(diào)一下重點。

Use going to to announce your intentions; use the present continuous to talk about plans and decisions that have already been made.
使用going to表明你的意圖；使用現(xiàn)在進行時談論計劃或做好的決定。

Use the future continuous tense to suggest that an activity will be in progress at a particular point of time in the future.
使用將來進行時提示一項活動將會在一個明確的未來時間里會發(fā)生的事。

將來進行時和現(xiàn)在進行時的將來用法的比較就介紹到這里了。
