［語法分析］
一、本單元語法重點(diǎn)內(nèi)容是used to這個(gè)句型。
1. “主語+used to+動(dòng)詞原形+其它”。在這個(gè)句型結(jié)構(gòu)中used to的含義為“過去常常”。表示過去的習(xí)
慣，暗示現(xiàn)在已無此習(xí)慣，請(qǐng)看圖：
Dave在過去幾年中一直在factory（工廠）中工作，但現(xiàn)在他在Supermarket（超市）中工作，所以Dave
used to work in a factory. 隱含的意思是：Dave worked in a factory before but he doesn’t work
there now.
如果用時(shí)間軸表示的話，應(yīng)該是這樣的。
2. 我們可以說I used to work…/She used to have…/they used to be…等等，也就是說used這個(gè)詞沒
有人稱的變化，to后面接動(dòng)詞原形。
used to be
work
have
play etc.
請(qǐng)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現(xiàn)在梳短發(fā)，但以前她是長發(fā)。
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.
他們過去和我們住在同一條街道，所以我們經(jīng)常能看見他們，但現(xiàn)在我們不能經(jīng)常見到他們了。
Ann used to have a piano, but she sold it a few years ago.
Ann過去有一架鋼琴，但幾年前她把鋼琴賣了。
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.
當(dāng)我還是個(gè)孩子時(shí)，我不喜歡西紅柿。
問句形式是did you use to…?
Where did you use to live before you came here?
當(dāng)你來這兒之前你住哪兒？
3. used to這個(gè)詞組只用于講述過去，我們不能用use to來講述現(xiàn)在
I used to play tennis. These days I play golf.
（不說 I use to play golf.）
We usually get up early.
（不說We use to get up early）
二、anymore
我們用anymore來表示情況或活動(dòng)的變化。（We use anymore to show a change in a situation or
activity.）
She used to live in NewYork, but she doesn’t live there anymore.
如果動(dòng)詞（或動(dòng)詞短語）相同，則第二個(gè)動(dòng)詞可省略。（If the Second Verb phrase has the same
verb, you can omit it.）
She used to live in London, but she doesn’t anymore.
anymore可不與used to連用（You can use anymore without used to）
She doesn’t live in NewYork anymore.
anymore只能和否定詞連用
We don’t go there anymore.
They never talk to me anymore.
No one likes him anymore.
三、still
我們用still來說明某人或某物沒有變化。（Use still to show that something or someone has not
changed）
She still lives in Mexico.
still應(yīng)放在主要?jiǎng)釉~前面（Use still before the main verb）
He still lives in New Zealand.
still應(yīng)放在be動(dòng)詞后面。
He is still crazy after all these years.
still 應(yīng)放在像can, may, should這樣的助動(dòng)詞之后
She can still play the piano.
四、頻率副詞
頻率副詞（如always）在句中位置不同。（Adverbs of frequency can appear in different
positions in a sentence.）
它們的位置應(yīng)是：在主要?jiǎng)釉~之前，在be動(dòng)詞之后，在助動(dòng)詞（will, can, have等）之后，在used to
之前。
I usually get up at six.
You were rarely happy. 你很少高興。
You will sometimes hear from them.
I have seldom spoken to her.
They never used to dance.
He always used to call her.
五、詞語辨析
1. used to和would
①used to和would都可表示過去的習(xí)慣或行為，常可換用。
When we were children we used to/would go skatingevery winter. 我們小時(shí)候每年冬天都去滑
冰。
②used to含有較強(qiáng)的“今昔對(duì)比”的含義，而would無此含義
I do not swim so often as I used to
我不像過去那樣常游泳了。（不能用would代替）
He would sometimes work into the night.
以前他常工作到深夜。（不表示現(xiàn)在他不工作到深夜）
③用would時(shí)，有時(shí)應(yīng)有時(shí)間狀語來加以限制，而used to則可無時(shí)間狀語
He would go to see Mother every vacation.
（那時(shí)）他每個(gè)假期去看望媽媽
He isn’t what he used to be. 他不再是過去的他。
2. used to do和be used to doing.
①be used to 是“習(xí)慣于”某一客觀事實(shí)和狀態(tài)，不強(qiáng)調(diào)動(dòng)作，to是介詞，后面接名詞或動(dòng)名詞，
如：
I am used to the weather here.
我已經(jīng)習(xí)慣于這里的天氣了。
He is used to hard work. 他習(xí)慣于艱苦的工作。
②get（或become）used to指的是從不習(xí)慣到習(xí)慣這一過程的轉(zhuǎn)變，另外，它往往包含著克服困難去適
應(yīng)的意思。
如：You will soon get used to the weather here.
你會(huì)習(xí)慣于這里的天氣的。
In the end, I got used to doing the hard work.
最后，我終于習(xí)慣干苦活了。
［單元課文重點(diǎn)分析］

如：It sure was cold. 天氣確實(shí)很冷。

right在這里是副詞，意為“直接地”。
