used to 英[ˈju:st tə] 美[juzd tu]
used to表示过去常常做某事。指过去经常的习惯,但现在不再这样了,常译为“过去常常”。其中的to是不定式符号,后面要接动词原形。它只有过去式一种形式,可以用于所有人称。例句：
I used to watch TV, but now I don’t like it. 我过去常常看电视,但现在不喜欢了。
He used to like collecting coins. 他过去喜欢集硬币
I used to play football after school.过去我常常在放学后踢球.
used to的否定式为didn’t use to或used not to。例如:
He didn’t use / used not to go home by bus. 他过去不常坐公共汽车回家。
used to的疑问式为Did … use to …? 或Used … to …? 构成。例如:
—Did you use to be a teacher? / Used you to be a teacher?
你过去是老师吗?
—Yes, I did.
是的。
be used to + n. / doing sth
be used to中,to是介词,后面接名词或V-ing,其中be是系动词,可以用于过去、现在、将来的多种时态,还可以用get, become等词来代替,表示“习惯于(做)某事”。例如:
He is used to air travel. 他习惯坐飞机旅行。
She is not used to eating Chinese food. 她不习惯吃中餐。
You’ll soon be / get / become used to our way of living. 你不久就会习惯我们的生活方式的。
be used to do sth (by sb)
be used to do sth 表示“被用来做某事”,是use sth to do sth的被动形式。例如:
Wood is often used to make desks and chairs. 木材常常被用来制作桌椅。
Coal can be used to keep warm. 煤可以用来取暖。
