Grammar Focus
used to是一个固定结构,它的意思是“过去经常、以前常常”,它的后面用动词原形,它表示过去存在某种状态或者过去的某种经常性、习惯性的行为或者动作,并意味着这种动作目前已经不存在,所以它只能用一般过去时,不能用现在时态。
used to + do sth.
“过去常常”表示过去习惯性的动作或状态,但如今已不存在。
肯定句式:
主语+ used to +动词原形...
例如:
I used to go to the cinema, but I never
have time now.
Used to do sth 过去(常常做某事)
主语+used to+动词原形
I used to smoke a lot.
She used to work in a shop.
Tom used to be a policeman.
He used to watch a lot of TV.
She used to be married.
否定句式:
A)主语+did not use to +动词原形......
He did not use to swim in this river,
but he swims here now.
B)主语+used not to +动词原形......
第一种否定句型,就是把used当作实义动词来看,所以变否定句要用助动词did;第二种否定句是把used当作情态动词,变否定句直接在used后面加not即可,used not 可以缩写成usedn’t或usen’t。美式英语通常用A种形式,英式英语常用B种形式。例如:
You didn't use to drink.
Used to 的否定形式
Didn’t use to do sth
used not to do sth
I used to smoke a lot
I didn’t used to smoke a lot.
I used not to smoke a lot.
疑问句:
A) Did +主语 +use to +动词原形...?
B) Used +主语+ to +动词原形...?美式英语通常用A种形式,英式英语用B种形式。例如:
Did you use to go swimming in the river when you were young
Used to 的一般疑问句形式
She used to smoke a lot.
Did she use to smoke a lot
Used she to smoke a lot
Did your sister use to be quiet
Used to 的反义疑问句
主语+used to do sth, didn’t +主语?
used not+主语?
I used to be a teacher, didn’t you
used not you
He used to watch a lot of TV, didn’t he
used not he
(四) used to 的状语可以用副词always,often,sometimes等,但是仍然是过去的习惯,不是指现在的习惯,所以不能用一般现在时。
例如:He always used to be late for class.
他过去常常上课迟到。
(五) used to可以用在there be结构中表示“过去经常有”的意思。
There used to be
There used to be a lot of teachers in the school.
100 years ago, there used to be a beautiful village
in the country
There used to be a clever old man in the village.
(六) used to 用于省略句时,肯定式保留
to,否定式不保留to。
例如:
—Used you to play basketball ——你过去常打篮球吗?
—Yes, I used to. (No, I usedn't.)
Sb used to do /be 某人过去常常做/过去是……
Sb be (get) used to doing sth. 某人习惯于做…….
Sth be used to do/for doing sth. 某物被用于做……
would/used to相同点
would与used to都可用来表示过去经常性或习惯性的动作,常常可以换用。如:
1. When we were boys we used to/would go swimming every summer.
小时候,每到夏天我们都要去游泳。
2. He used to/would spend every penny he
earned on books.
过去,他通常把挣来的钱全花在买书上。
would与used to的区别主要有以下几点:
a. used to可指过去的状态或情况,would则不能。如:
School children used to know the story of how Abraham Lincoln walked five miles to return a penny he'd overcharged a customer.
(不能用would)
Yet, he cannot but remember as it used to be.
(不能用would).
b. would表示反复发生的动作。如果某一动
作没有反复性,就不能用 would,只能用
used to。例如:
And from that day on, as soon as the table
was cleared and the dishes were gone, Mother
would disappear into her sewing room to
practice.
(具有反复性)
I used to live in Beijing.
(没有反复性)
c. used to表示过去经常性或习惯性的动作
或状态现在已经结束,would则表示有
可能再发生。如:
People used to believe that the earth was flat.
(现在已不再这样认为)
He would go to the park as soon as he was free.
(现在有可能再去)
