CHECK YOUR GRAMMAR! ～文法のポイントを確認しましょう～
①進行形で「予定」
Next week our school is having the club presentations for freshmen.
「be + 動詞 ing」です。
②will の表す未来：意思
I’ll do may best.
will はこれからの事態を鮮明に見通す「予測」と、これからを見通し、ある状況を実現する「意思」の使い方があります。この例は「意思」。
BUILD UP YOUR VOCABULARY～語彙のハートを身につけましょう～
You can always count on me.
「テーブルの上にボール」の on のイメージは「支える」につながっています。count on me は「私に頼る・依存する」です。me が支えるというわけです。
別の表現も見てみましょう。
This movie is based on a real-life story.
My wife did it on purpose.
She’s living on her pension.
Spiders live on flies.
He has a lot of things on his mind.
EXPRESS YOURSELF IN ENGLISH! ～英語で表現しましょう～
I think he depends too much on his parents.
depend on（～に頼る）では on の「支える」を意識しましょう。
The people trapped in the mine survived on just water.
trap は「閉じ込める・罠に掛ける」。mine は「鉱山･坑道」。the people trapped in the mine では trap の過去分詞が使われ「鉱山に閉じ込められた人々」。on just water は「水だけに支えられて」。
They’re putting all the blame on me.
blame は「非難・責め」。put the blame on ～ で「～のせいにする」という意味。
