2. 我们可以说I used to work…/She used to have…/they used to be…等等，也就是说used这个词没

有人称的变化，to后面接动词原形。

　　　 used tobe

　　　 work

　　　 have

　　　 play etc.

　　 请看例句：

　　 ·When I was a child, I used to like chocolate

　　 ·I used to read a lot of books but I don’t read much these days.

　　 ·Liz has got short hair now but it used to be very long.

　　 Liz现在梳短发，但以前她是长发。

　　 ·They used to live in the same street as us, so we often used to see them.

But we don’t

see them very often these days.

　　 他们过去和我们住在同一条街道，所以我们经常能看见他们，但现在我们不能经常见到他们了。

　　 ·Ann used to have a piano, but she sold it a few years ago.

　　 Ann过去有一架钢琴，但几年前她把钢琴卖了。

　　 used to的否定形式是I didn’t use to….

　　 ·When I was a child, I didn’t use to like tomatoes.

　　 当我还是个孩子时，我不喜欢西红柿。

　　 问句形式是did you use to…?

　　 ·Where did you use to live before you came here?

　　 当你来这儿之前你住哪儿？

1. “主语+used to+动词原形+其它”。在这个句型结构中used to的含义为“过去常常”。表示过去的习

惯，暗示现在已无此习惯，请看图：

　　 Dave在过去几年中一直在factory(工厂)中工作，但现在他在Supermarket(超市)中工作，所以Dave　

used to work in a factory. 隐含的意思是：Dave worked in a factory before but he doesn’t

work

there now.

　　 如果用时间轴表示的话，应该是这样的。
