主将，即主句用将来时，指…will……这部分；从现，即从句用一般现在时，指“if……”这部分。
If it rains tomorrow, I won’t go to visit the Eiffel Town.
如果明天下雨，我将不去游览埃菲尔铁塔。
注意：if引导的从句要用一般现在时，此处常用第三人称单数，故动词要适当变化，不要被tomorrow误导了。
If Jiamin goes, I will go too.
If she likes this painting, I will give it to her.
如果她喜欢这幅画，我将把它送给她。
9 We watch them sail away.
我们看着它们飘远而去。
We watch them sailing away.
我们看着它们飘着。
这两种结构都正确，不同的是，前者用动词原形sail，表示整个过程，即飘远而去，直到看不见为止；后者用动词ing形式sailing，表示动作正在进行，即还在飘，能看得到。
I watched the old man cross the road.
我看见老人过马路。
I watched the old man crossing the road.
我看见老人在过马路。
原形cross，表看见的是整个过程，老人已经过完马路了；动词ing形式crossing，表老人正在过马路中，在路中间。
类似用法的还有其他感官动词，如see，look，hear，listen to等等。
I heard her sing a song.
我听她唱了一首歌。
（整个过程，歌已听完）
I heard her singing a song.
我正在听她唱一首歌。
