过去将来时的句子一定要有一个时间上的参照点，也就是过去发生的一件事情，比如he said，而我们所要真正表达的内容是在这个参照点之后将要，或可能，或打算要做的事情。也就是在过去的时间（体现出过去的概念）点之后的未来动作（体现出将来的概念）。这通常在我们转述别人的过去状态时使用。我们赶快一起来学习一下吧！
6.1过去将来时概述
1.定义
过去将来时表示在过去某个时间看来将要发生的动作或存在的状态。其动词的构成形式同一般将来时，只把系动词be 变为过去式，把will 和shall 变为过去式即可：
would+VERB
was/were going to+VERB
2.功能
（1）表示从过去某时看来将要发生的动作或存在状态，常表示按计划或安排即将发生的事。最常见的过去将来时是由should (would)+原形动词构成，可与be going to 替换使用。
例如：
I would appreciate your keeping it a secret.
我很感激你能保守秘密。
I was told that he was going to buy some stuff after work.
有人告诉我他下班后准备去买东西。
过去将来时表示在过去某个时间看来将要发生的动作或存在的状态。
注意：was/were going to可表示根据当时情况判断有可能但不一定会发生某事。例如：
It seemed as if it was going to rain.
看来好像要下雨。
He was going to come last night， but it rained.
他本打算昨天晚上来的，但是天下雨了。
（2）表示过去的某种习惯性行为，只用would。例如：
Whenever we had trouble， he would come to help us.
每当我们遇到困难时，他总会给予帮助。

3.Dora said the bus (leave) at five the next morning.
4.I wasn"t sure whether he (lend) me his book the next day.
5.He was sixty-three.In two years he (retire).
6.2可以表示过去将来意义的其他结构及其用法
（1）was/were about to do 表示过去即将发生的动作，一般不带时间副词。例如：

（2）was/were on the point of doing 表示“正要……”。例如：

很高兴你能来，我正要给你打电话。
Tom was on the point of leaving when we came in.

（3）come， go， leave， arrive， start等动词可用于过去进行时，表示过去将要发生的动作。例如：

The train was leaving at six the next morning.
火车将于第二天早晨六点离开。
（4）was/were to do 表示曾计划做某事，但不表明计划是否被执行，或表示“命运”（即命中注定要发生的事）。例如：

据说，下周会修理机器。
