used to用于疑问句时,可借助助动词did,也可以将used提到主语前。

拓 展
● Mario, you used to be short, didn’t you?
本句是反意疑问句,其特点是“前肯后否”或“前否后肯”。
We can’t take books out, can we? 我们不能把书拿出去,对吗?
反意疑问句的用法
反意问句要点三,前后谓语正相反;附加问句 not现,必须缩写是习惯;
最后一点应注意,问句主语代词换。
● What’s he like now?
What +be +主语+like?
用来询问某人的外貌特征,意为“……长什么样?”,
相当于 what do /does +主语+ look like?
► What’s your brother like?
=What does your brother look like? 你哥哥长什么样?
辨析:be like 和 look like
be like:“像……一样”,常指品德、相貌等相像更侧重人的个性特征。
look like:“看起来像……”常指外貌上相像。
►The twin sister are like their father.
► He looks like his mother.
