Bài tập used to trong tiếng Anh
1. Cấu trúc Used to trong tiếng Anh
a.Công thức
| Khẳng định (+) | S | used | to V | ||
| Phủ định (-) | S | did | not | use | to V |
| Nghi vấn (?) | Did | S | use | to V? |
b. Cách dùng
Cấu trúc used to hay cấu trúc used to V được sử dụng để nói về một thói quen, hành động, sự kiện hoặc trạng thái đã từng xảy ra trong quá khứ và không còn xảy ra trong hiện tại nữa. Đôi khi nó được dùng để nhấn mạnh về sự khác biệt giữa hiện thực và quá khứ.
Ví dụ:
Khẳng định (+):
He used to be a long distance runner when he was young_ Anh ấy đã từng là vận động viên chạy bền hồi còn trẻ.
There used to be a cinema here_ Ở đây từng có một rạp chiếu phim
Phủ định (-):
I didn’t use to go swimming_ Trước kia tôi không thường đi bơi
She didn’t use to drink that much coffee _Trước kia cô ấy không uống nhiều cafe như vậy
Nghi vấn (?):
Did he use to sm
Did you use to eat meat before becoming a vegetarian?_ Trước khi trở thành người ăn chay thì bạn có ăn thịt không?
c. Những lỗi hay gặp khi sử dụng cấu trúc Used to
Lỗi phổ biến nhất khi sử dụng Used to đó chính là bị nhầm lẫn giữa ba cấu trúc Used to V, Be used to V-ing/ danh từ và Get used to V-ing/ danh từ. Nhiều người lầm tưởng 3 cấu trúc này có ý nghĩa tương đương nhau.
Ví dụ:
We used to co
We are used to co
We get used to co
Mọi người cũng thường mặc định rằng “used” là một động từ, không phải là tính từ, vì thế trong Be used to và Get used to, họ lựa chọn nhầm động từ nguyên dạng đi theo sau “used” thay vì danh từ hoặc danh động từ V-ing,
Ví dụ:
She is used to meeting him at night. => đúng
She is used to meet him at night. => sai
