Unit 2 used to be afraid of the dark 囵理|解|与|积|累 重点词句解析●●● 1. I used to be afraid of the dark.我过去常常怕黑。 ● used to do sth.表示“过去常常做某事”,言外之意就是现在已不是如此。 used to 后通常接动词原形; used to在构成疑问句时可借助于助动词did或直接将used移 至主语之前; used to在构成否定句时可借助于didn't,也可以直接在used后面加 not构成。例如: My father used to smoke a lot, but now he's given it up. 我爸爸过去吸烟很频繁,但现在已经戒掉了。 Did you use to go there?= Used you to go there?你以前常去那儿吗? She didn' t use to eat meat.= She used not to eat meat.她过去不常吃肉。 [辨析] ① be used to sth./ doing sth.表示“习惯于某事”或“习惯于做某事”,to为介 词,后面的动词须用其-ing形式。助动词get和 become等可用来代替be,和 used to连用,强调习惯逐渐形成的过程。例如 I'm really not used to such wet weather. 我实在不习惯这样潮湿的天气。 My father is/gets/becomes used to getting up early in the morning 我父亲习惯于早起。 ② be used to do sth.表示“被用来做某事”,这里 be used是被动语态,后面接动 词不定式。例如 Metal can be used to make many kinds of things 金属能被用来制造许多种东西。 2.
