過去將來時
一、過去將來時的含義
過去將來時表示在過去某個時間看來將要發生的動作或存在的狀態。過去將來時常用于賓語從句和間接引語中。例如:

我不知道他是否會來。

他們從來都不知道人口問題將會成為一個大問題。
She didn’t tell me where she would go.
她沒有告訴我她要去哪兒。

貝蒂說下周六她要去參觀長城。
二、過去將來時的表達法
(一)“would+動詞原形”。常表示按計劃或安排即將發生的事。例如
He said he would come to see me.
他說他要來看我。
He told me he would go to Beijing.
他告訴我他將去北京。
(二)“was/ were+going to+動詞原形”。常可用來表示按計劃或安排即將發生的事。例如:

有人告訴我他準備回家。
此結構還可表示根據當時情況判斷有可能但不一定會發生某事。例如:

他說火車將于第二天早晨六點離開。
She told me she was coming to see me.
她告訴我她要來看我。
(四)條件狀語從句和時間狀語從句中須用一般過去時代替過去將來時。例如:
