A)一般将来时：
一般将来时主要表示将来发生的动作和情况。 一般将来时的表示方法主要有以下两种：
1. will/shall + 动词原形（现在一般用will 代替shall） 例如：Tomorrow my family will have our dinner at 7:00 p.m. 明天我们家会在下午七点钟吃晚饭。
I will (shall) prepare for the English exam. 我会准备英语考试的。
2. be (am, is, are) going to + 动词原形，表示现在计划好将来要做的事或将来可能发生的事，突出主观意图。
例如：I am going to write to Mary this evening. 今晚我要写信给玛丽。（计划要做的事） Look at the dark clouds, there is going to be a storm. 看那些乌云，暴风雨就要来了。（有迹象要发生的事） 注意：（1）be going to 不能单纯表示将来的自然趋势或必然结果： 例如：I am going to be twenty next year. (错误)
I will (shall) be twenty next year. (正确) 我明年就要二十岁了。 Tomorrow is going to be the 20th of September. （错误）
Tomorrow will be the 20th of September. （正确） 明天是九月二十号。 （2）意为“意图”、“打算”、“安排”等时，常用现在进行时表示将来，常用的词为come, go, start, arrive, leave, stay等表示位置变化等情况的动词。 例如：He is leaving tomorrow. 他明天要走了。
Are you staying here till next week? 你们会一直待到下个星期吗？
I’m going to Shanghai Museum this Saturday. 星期六我要去上海博物馆。 He is coming to visit us this afternoon. 今天下午他要来看我们。
（3）在时间状语从句及条件状语从句中，主句如果是一般将来时，则从句要用一般现在时代替将来时。（主将从现）
例如：I will tell you everything as soon as I get home. 我一到家就会告诉你所有的一切。 If you tell me, I will keep it as a secret. 如果你告诉我，我会保密的。 B)介词 at, on, in 表示时间的用法：
1. 在以next, last, this, tomorrow, tonight, yesterday, the day before yesterday, the day after tomorrow, ago 等时间状语前一般不加介词。
例如：I arrived in Beijing the day before yesterday. 我前天到了北京。 I am going to visit Mr Smith tomorrow. 我明天要去拜访斯密斯先生。 2. at 通常用于：
确切的时间前：at 7:30, at a quarter past six 用餐时间前：at lunch time
表示在一段节日期间：at Christmas
固定词组搭配：at dawn, at night, at midnight, at noon, at that time, at the moment…… 3. on 通常用于：
星期：on Friday, on Monday morning, 确切日期前：on June 1st
节日当天：on Children’s Day , on New Year’s Day
文学类的天气描写：on a dark evening, on a snowy day，on the night of July 1st 4. in 通常用于：

课文中文参考译文 陷入高克的魔掌
金船长经常给朋友们讲他的冒险故事。这是其中之一。 第一部分
我们的领航员彼得斯又一次迷路了。我们的食物快吃光了。因此，傍晚时分我们降落在了一个无人涉足过的星球。我们的飞行员兰姆将我们轻缓地降落在一个山谷里，山谷紧靠着一面又黑又滑的大石崖。石崖上有几扇门——每一扇门都有两层楼那么高！
我们总共12个人离开了飞船，向着那些门小心翼翼地走去。有一扇门被打开了些许。我们从中穿过，进入了一个巨大的山洞。里面的家具和地球上的很相似，但是尺寸非常大！ “我们离开这儿吧！”彼得斯说道：“这是一个怪物的家。” “很明显，这是一个似人非人的怪物，所以它也许是友善的。”我说道：“我们等等吧！” 地面开始晃动。门开了，跳进来几只动物。它们看上去像袋鼠，是巨大的袋鼠。跟着进来了一个庞大的怪物。除了那巨大、红色的独眼外，它看起来简直跟人一样。 袋鼠们大叫道：“晚安，高克。”说完就跳走了。
