【补充】A. 动词go, come, arrive, leave, return, start, begin等表示一般将来时，可用一般现在时，也可用现在进行时。
区别：主语是物，动词通常“一般现在时”表将来。
-What time does the train leave?-The program begins at 4.- Our new branch opens next week. 本店新设分店下周开业。
主语是人，动词通常用“现在进行时”表将来。
-I’m not going out this evening.有时，现在进行时显得累赘的地方就用一般现在时，例如在谈到像旅程安排那样的一系列预定的将来的动作时，可以这样说： We leave at six, arrive in Dublin at ten and take the plane on...而不说：We are leaving at six, arriving in Dublin at ten and taking the plane on...B. 表示将来的动作或状态，还可用以下几种形式：① will / shall＋动词原形I shall be seventeen years old next month.② be going to＋动词原形(表示即将发生的或最近打算进行的事)We are going to have a meeting today．③be to＋动词原形(表示按计划要发生的事或征求对方意见)Are we to go on with this work?④be about to＋动词原形(表示即将发生的动作，不与表示将来的时间状语连用)I was about to go swimming when my guide shouted at me and told me not to do so. 我正要去游泳，这时向导大声叫我不要去。
⑤ be ＋动词-ing形式(表示按计划或安排要发生的事, 含义是“预定要…“，常用动词go, come, arrive, return, leave,start, begin, do, get, have, work, wear, spend, play, see, meet等，且主语是指“人”)When are you going off for your holiday?My plane is taking off at 9:20, so I must be at the airport by 8:30.⑥一般现在时表示将来时(1) 按规定预计要发生的未来动作，仅限于come, go, leave, move, start, return, arrive, begin, stay等动词，且主语是指“物”。
The plane takes off at 10:10. That is it’s leaving in ten minutes.(2) 用在状语从句中用一般现在时代替一般将来时。
If you do that again, I’ll hit you.(3) 用在I bet 和I hope后面, 常用一般现在时表将来I bet you don’t get up before ten tomorrow. 我敢说你明天不到10点是不会起床的.⑦单纯叙述未来的事实，可以用将来进行时，也可表示按计划安排将来要执行的动作。
