UNIT 6: AN EXCURSION
THEORY
Ngữ pháp
PHÂN BIỆT : HIỆN TẠI TIẾP DIỄN - TƯƠNG LAI GẦN - TƯƠNG LAI ĐƠN
Từ trước đến giờ các em thường dùng thì hiện tại tiếp diễn để chỉ hành động đang xảy ra ở thời điểm hiện
tại và được dịch là "đang" nhưng trong bài này các em sẽ học thêm một cách sử dụng nữa của nó là : sử
dụng ở tương lai. Cùng với thì tương lai gần và tương lai đơn, thì hiện tại tiếp diễn sẽ làm phức tạp thêm
cách phân biệt giữa chúng, dưới đây là cách phân biệt giữa 3 thì này:
1) Thì tương lai đơn:
Chỉ lời hứa, việc không có chuẩn bị trước, một hành động được quyết định ngay ngay khi có tình
huống xảy ra trước mắt.
ví dụ:
A - My car is broken down !
B - Don't worry ! I will repair it for you.
Giải thích:
Vì B không hề biết trước A có xe hư nên không có chuẩn bị gì mà chỉ đột xuất nên ta dùng tương lai đơn.
2) Thì tương lai gần: BE GOING TO + V0
Công thức :
S + is / am / are + going to + động từ nguyên mẫu
Cách dùng:
- Chỉ một hành động đã có ý định làm.
- Chỉ một dự đoán có tình huống trước mắt.
ví dụ:
Oh, your language is ready now. What time are you going to leave ? ( hành lý đã sẵn sàng, bạn định mấy
giờ khởi hành? )
Look at those dark clouds! ( nhìn mây đen kìa! )
- Yes, it is going to rain soon ( ừ, trời sắp mưa rồi )
3) Thì hiện tại tiếp diễn:
Cách dùng :
- Chỉ hành động đã chuẩn bị kế hoạch sẵn, thường có thời gian cụ thể hoặc một kế hoạch lớn, quan
trọng đã quyết định làm thường có thời gian xác định
Ví dụ:
We are having a party next sunday. Would you like to come? ( chúng tôi có tổ chức 1 bữa tiệc vào chủ
nhật tới, mời bạn đến dự )
Giải thích:
Đã mời người ta thì chuyện đó phải đã được chuẩn bị hết rồi.
4) So sánh giữa hiện tại tiếp diễn và tương lai gần:
- Hiện tại tiếp diễn chắc hơn, dấu hiệu : có thời gian cụ thể, có lời mời (would you like...), chuyện
quan trọng ( đám cưới, xây nhà, mua xe ...)
ví dụ:
I am having my house built next week

in 1867. The price paid to the Russian government for this huge piece of land was $ 7,200,000. Secretary
of State Seward arranged the treaty and the purchase. Because people in the United States at that time
knew little About Alaska, many of them did not approve of purchasing it. Some jokingly called Alaska
