观察第6页漫画部分这几个句子，找出有什么共同点？
Have you seen my food Yes, I’ve eaten it.
You’ve eaten my food.
You have changed.
结构上：______________________, 意思上：_____________________
You used to share food with me! 你过去常常与我分享食物的！

a.韩寒过去不经常打篮球。Han Han usedn’t to_______________________.
b.他过去常常骑自行车去博物馆吗？ Did he_________________________to the museum
I used to go to school by bike. 我过去常常骑自行车去上学。
解析：by+表示交通工具的名词，泛指乘某种交通工具。该介词短语在句中作状语。
同义短语：go to sp by+交通工具=take a/an+交通工具to sp
例句：
a. 他每天乘地铁去工作。He_________________________to work every day
b. 她昨天乘火车去了上海。She________ to Shanghai__________________ yesterday.
3. …and it took a long time to wait for the next one. …..等下一班公共汽车要花费很长时间。
