過去將來時構成: would/should +do
表示從過去某個時間看將要發生的動作或存在的狀態。用于間接引語或賓語從中,當主句謂語動詞用過去時態時。
注意:過去將來還可用下列形式來表達,但含義有所不同:
1. was/were going to do: 表示過去的主觀打算。但未必能實現。
1). we were going to leave, but then it rained.我們正打算離開,但這時下雨了。
2). i was going to visit the factory but in the end i went to the country. 我當時打算去參觀工廠的,但最終我去鄉下了。
2. was /were about to do:即將發生的動作“剛要/正要做某事”,不能再與時間狀語連用。
i was about to sit down when the telephone rang.我正要坐下這時電話響了。
3. start, go ,come, leave;see, meet類動詞的過去進行時:表示就過去某一時刻而言即將發生的動作
1). i didn’t know that they were coming until this morning.直到今天上午我才知道他們要來。
2). he was busy packing, for he was leaving that night.
4. was/were to do:表示“曾計劃干什么”,如果表示“本來計劃干什么,動作沒實現”,則需用 “was /were to have done”
1). she said she was to tell me about the accident.她說她計劃把事故的事告訴我。

choose the best answer.
1. in a room above the store, where a party ____, some workers were busily setting the table.
a. was to be held b. has been held
c. will be held d. is being held
解答:a。根據下文語境“一些工人正忙著安放桌子”可知“晚會是要被舉行”。“be to do”結構常用來表示“計劃將來做某事”, 這兒用的是它的被動語態形式be to be done。
2.--alice, why didn’t you come yesterday?
--i______, but i had an unexpected visitor.
a. had b. would c. was going to d. did
解答:c。句意為“我本來打算來的,但來了一位不速之客”。這兒用was going to表示“當時的一種打算”。
