“used to 的三种用法” (used to / be used to / get used to)
🔒 登录后可标记已读- used to、be used to、get used to 三个长得像双胞胎的词组,意思却完全不同,是马来西亚华人英语里数一数二常错的地方。
- used to + 动词原形,说过去的习惯或状态,现在已经不是这样了;疑问句/否定句要变回 use to(不加 d)。
- be used to + 名词/-ing,说已经习惯了某件事,不再觉得陌生。
- get used to + 名词/-ing,说慢慢在适应的过程,能用在过去、现在、将来。
- 学完能分清 he used to work here(以前在这里工作)跟 he's used to working here(已经习惯在这里工作)的差别。
