Language points
1. I used to be afraid of the dark.
used to结构意为“过去经常；以前常常”，表示过去的习惯性动作或经常性状态，可用于各种人称，后接动词原形。
e.g. Amy used to listen to music.
You used to be short, but now you’re tall.
used to结构的否定形式有两种：didn’t use to。如：
The Whites didn’t use to live here.
used to结构在构成疑问句时，可借助助动词did。
e.g. Did you use to you to spend much
time playing computer games
结构 意义 to的作用
used to do sth. 过去常常做某事
不定式符号
use ... to do sth. 用……做…… be used to do sth. 被用来做…… be used to+ doing sth./n./pron. 习惯于做某事 介词
【语境应用】根据提示完成英语句子。
1) My uncle _________________ (以前是个司机), but now he is an actor.
2) Tom’s father __________________ (过去常常看书) after lunch.
3) Mary _________________ (以前常常骑自行车) to work, but now she ________________ (习惯步行) to work.
4) The pencil _____________ (被用来书写).
used to be a driver
used to read (books)

from time to time是一个固定短语, 意为“间或; 有时”,
常在句中作状语。
e.g. Tom goes to visit his grandmother in the countryside from time to time.
汤姆时常去看望住在农村的奶奶。
2. She still plays the piano from time to time.
e.g. He got high scores in the examination.
Girls usually score highly in language exams. (翻译)
考试中他得了高分。
在语言考试中，女生通常得高分。
3. He studied hard and got good scores on his exams.
score n. & v. 得分; 进球
such与so区别：
such为形容词, “这(那)样的”, 主要修饰名词;
so是副词, 意为“这(那)么; 如此地”, 主要修饰形容词或副词。
4. This party is such a great idea!
He used to be so shy and quiet.
e.g. Do you like such weather

当名词前有many, much, few或little等词修饰时, 要用so而不用such。
e.g. There are so many / few people in the hall.
大厅有这么多/这么少的人。
You have so much / little homework today.
你今天有这么多/这么少的作业。
such +a / an+形容词+可数名词单数， 相当于so+形容词+a / an +可数名词单数，表示“如此……的一个……”。
5. I used to see him reading in the library every day.
感官动词see可以跟动词-ing形式作宾语补足语，即see sb. doing sth.，表示看见某人正在做某事，强调看到事情正在发生；也可以跟不带to的动词不定式(短语)作宾语补足语，即see sb. do sth.，表示看见某人做某事，强调看到事情发生的整个过程。

It’s (It has) been + 时间段 + since从句，在句型It has been ... since ... 中，since引导的从句要用一般过去时；
此外It has been还可改写为It is。
翻译句子。
1) 他们已经离开很久了。
