Procedures
Warming up by learning “used to ”
Hi, everyone. Today we’re going to study Unit 2. Its title is I used to be afraid of the dark. In the title we find a phrase “used to ”. What does it mean? How is it used in English?
used to的用法
“used to加不定式”表示过去常常干某事，现在不在干了。
例如:
I used to go to work by bus. Now I take a taxi.
She used to be very shy.
“be used to doing”表示习惯于干某事。
【例如】
I am used to getting up early and going to bed early.
He is used to being praised by others.
So the sentence “I used to be afraid of the dark.” means in Chinese: 我过去常害怕黑暗。
注意“used to”的疑问形式和否定形式：
—Did you use to be afraid of the dark?
—Yes, I used to be afraid of the dark.
—Did he use to be afraid of the dark?
—No, he did not use to be afraid of the dark.
