发布时间:2018/02/02 15:39:03 阅读量:5032

1.used to可看作一个半助动词或情态动词,其后跟动词原形,表示过去的习惯或经常发生的动作,例如:

When he was a child, he used to ask lots of questions.

I want to know the places (that/which) he used to go to.

否定式为:used not to(书面语), use(d)n’t to(口语), didn’t use to(口语)

疑问式为:Used sb to …?(书面语), Did sb use to …?(口语)

反意疑问句式为:use(d)n’t sb? (书面语) didn’t sb? (口语)

2.be used to = get used to 都是一个固定的结构,意思为:习惯于某事或做某事的意思,to为介词,后接名词或动名词,不能跟动词原形,例如:

We are used to the weather in the south of China.

They have got used to getting up early in the morning.

be used to的各种形式变化如下:

疑问式为:Be(具体形式) sb ….? 否定式为:sb be(具体形式) not …

反意疑问式为:be(具体形式) not sb? (be作为系动词看待)

get used to的各种形式变化如下:

疑问式为:Do/Does/Did sb get …? 否定式为:sb does/do/did not get …

反意疑问式为:do/does/did not sb? (get作为行为动词看待)

3.be used to + Verb或as/for接名词,表示某东西被用来作某事或当什么东西来使用,是一个被动语态的结构,例如:

This knife is usually used to cut fruit.

This magazine was used as a fan last night because of the hot weather.

Blooms are used for cleaning the floor when we do general cleaning.

由于be为助动词,因此它的疑问式、否定式及反意疑问式则按一般规则进行变化。

注意used to与would的区别:

(1).used to重在表示与现在的对比,含“过去曾经/一度,现在未必”之意;would重在叙述过去的情况,没有上述含义。如可以说:

He used to get up early, but not now. 但不说:He would get up early, but …

(2).used to可以表示过去习惯或经常的状态;would不能,它只能表示过去的一个经常重复的动作,如可以说:

There used to be a temple nearby. 但不能说:There would be …

(3).used to较正规、普通,多用于口语;would不太正规、多用于书面语。

(4).两者都不能用于表示某事发生的具体次数。但would可表示过去有时或偶尔发生的动作,因而可与sometimes, now and then, from time to time等时间状语连用,例如:

He would sit there for hours sometimes, doing nothing at all.
