(Section A.1a)

1. used to do sth “過去常常”（表過去習慣性動作或狀態，暗示現在已不再如此，既可作情態動詞，又可作實義動詞。）

e.g. He used to go swimming on Sundays ,didn’t / usedn’t he ? ( 反義疑問 )

否定式：used not to do 或didn’t use to do

e.g. He used not to play basketball .= He didn’t use to play basketball.（他以前不打籃球）

一般疑問式：Did …use to ? 或 Used …to ?

e.g. Did you use to have long hair ? = Used you have to have long hair ?

辨析： be used to doing sth“習慣于做某事” e.g. He’s used to getting up early .

be used to do “被用來做…” e.g. This room is used to be a living room .

be used for ( doing)… “被用作…（目的，用途）” e.g. Wood can be used for making paper .

be used by… “被某人使用” e.g. French is used by Frenchmen .

比較： used to do& would do

① used to和would都可表示過去的習慣或行為，常可換用。

e.g. They would often hike into the mountains .= They used to hike into the mountains .

② used to含有較強的“今昔對比”的含義，而would無此含義

e.g. I do not swim so often as I used to我不像過去那樣常游泳了。（不能用would代替）

He would sometimes work into the night. 以前他常工作到深夜。（不表示現在他不工作到深夜）

③用would時，有時應有時間狀語來加以限制，而used to則可無時間狀語

e.g. He would go to see Mother every vacation. （那時）他每個假期去看望媽媽

He isn’t what he used to be. 他不再是過去的他。
