一般将来时主要有以下几种表现形式
由助动词shall或will加动词原形构成，shall 用于人称，will用于第二、三人称。除英国外的说英语的国家，在陈述句中，即使在人称一般也用will，在英国也有这种趋势。在口语中，常用shall, will的缩写形式为’ll, 如：i’ll, you’ll等。shall not的缩写式为:shan’t, will not 的缩写式为：won’t.
肯定句：i/we shall/will go.
you/he/she/they will go.
否定句：i/we shall/will not go.
you/he/she/they will not go.
疑问句：shall i/we go?
will you/he/she/they go?
一般将来时用法
（1）一般将来时表示将要发生的动作或情况。
例如：i will(shall) arrive tomorrow.我明天到。
will you be free tonight? 你今晚有空吗？
we won’t (shan’t) be busy this evening. 我们今晚不忙。
（2）在一般将来时的句子中，有时有表示将来时间的状语，有时没有时间状语，这时要从意思上判断是否指未来的动作或情况。例如：
will she come? 她（会）来吗？
we’ll only stay for two weeks. 我们只待两星期。
the meeting won’t last long. 会开不了多久。
（3）在以人称i或we作主语的问句中，一般使用助动词shall，这时或是征求对方的意见(a)，或是询问一个情况(b)：
a. where shall we meet? 我们在哪儿碰头？
b. shall we have any classes tomorrow?明天我们有课吗？
在这类问句中，近年来也有不少人用will，特别是在美国。例如：
how will i get there? 我怎么去？
（4）be going to+动词原形
a.表示打算、准备做的事。例如：
we are going to put up a building here.我们打算在这里盖一座楼。
how are you going to spend your holidays?假期你准备怎样过？
b.表示即将发生或肯定要发生的事。例如：
i think it is going to snow. 我看要下雪了。
there’s going to be a lot of trouble about this. 这事肯定会有很多麻烦。
c.“will”句型与“be going to”句型，前者表示纯粹将来，后者表示打算、计划、准备做的事情，更强调主语的主观意愿。例如：
tomorrow will be saturday. 明天是周六了。
we are going to visit paris this summer.今年夏天我们打算游览巴黎。
