考点1 辨析used to do something, be used to doing something与be used to do something
used to do something 意为“过去常常做某事”,表示过去习惯性、经常性的动作或状态,和现在对比,暗示现在不做了。to为不定式符号,后跟动词原形。否定式有两种: didn't use to 或usedn't to。疑问式有两种: Did...use to...? 或 Used...to do...? 但常用第一种。答语形式与did和used的形式一致。如:
I used to go shopping on Saturdays, but now I no longer do so. 过去我经常星期六去购物,但现在我不再那样了。
be used to doing something 表示“习惯于做某事”。to 在这里是介词,后接名词或动名词。如:
The teacher is used to going to bed late in the evening. 那个老师习惯于晚睡。
be used to do something 表示被动,意为“……被用来做……”。如:
Knives are used to cut things. 刀是用来切东西的。
