英语时态有一些习惯用法是不符合以上规律的，我们只能硬记这些用法，例如：

　　在条件状语从句里，将来的条件要用一般现在时表达，将来进行时要用现在进行时表达，依此类推。

　　例句：1.If you come here early tomorrow morning, you will meet him.

　　2.He will be watering the garden after two hours if you are preparing soslowly.

　　3.When we have gone there, they will have been there at least for half anhour.

　　Be going to do sth 和be to do sth结构表示将来时也是活用的方式。

　　例句：1.We are going to get up early in the holidays. 我们打算在假期里早点起床。

　　2.He is to climb the high mountain next month. 他定于在下个月去登那座高山。

　　suggest后面的宾语从句里含有should，如果省略里面的should,谓语动词则应用原形：

　　例句：He suggested we [should] go in this way.

　　应用举例：《新概念》第二册红色字表示现在时系列，蓝色字表示过去时系列
