Used to 構造在日常英文交流中非常常用。讓 ELSA Speak 幫你更清楚地了解其含義、用法和練習示例，幫助你更有效地學習英文吧！

Used to構造

“used to” 構造被用來描述一個曾經發生過但已經結束且現在不再發生的習慣、狀態或事件。這個構造通常帶有比較過去和現在的意思。

公式

肯定句	S + used to + V(inf – 原形)	I used to go to school by bus, now I go by bike. 大致翻譯：以前我坐公車上學，現在我騎摩托車。解釋：搭公車的行為只發生在過去，現在已經不再這樣了。
否定句	S + didn’t use to + V(inf – 原形)	John didn’t use to clean the house everyday when he lived alone. 大致翻譯：John 以前一個人住的時候不常每天打掃房子。解釋：談論約翰過去的習慣就是他不常每天打掃房子。
疑問句	Did + S + use to + V(inf – 原形)	Did he use to come home this late? 大致翻譯：他以前經常像這麼晚回家嗎？解釋：詢問他過去回家晚的習慣。

Used to用法

“used to” 構造常用於描述過去發生過的動作、習慣、狀態或事件，且這些現在已經不再發生。有時 “used to” 還用來強調過去與現實之間的差異。因此，“used to” 通常只用於過去式，特別是過去簡單式。

例如：

My grandmother used to tell me stories about her youth. (我奶奶曾經給我講過她年輕時的故事)
I used to love spicy food, but now I can’t handle it. (我曾經喜歡吃辣的食物，但現在已經不能吃了)

學生們需要注意的一點是關於 “used to” 構造的：當句子中有 “did” 時，我們用 “use to”；而當句子中沒有 “did” 時，我們用 “used to”。

Be used to + Ving構造

公式

肯定句	S + be + used to + V_ing/Noun	We are used to the working time at this company. 大致翻譯：我們已經習慣了在這家公司工作的時間。
否定句	S + be + not + used to + V_ing/Noun	She was not used to the noise from our radio, so we always had to turn it off when she stayed at home. 大致翻譯：她不習慣我們的收音機噪音，所以她在家的時候我們總是關掉它。
疑問句	Be + S + used to + V_ing/Noun	Are you used to getting up at 6 a.m every day? 大致翻譯：你已經習慣每天早上6點起床了嗎？

Used to + Ving用法

“Be used to” 構造常用於描述某人已經多次做某件事，已經習慣並且對該事物也有了經驗而且不再陌生。

例如：

They are used to the peaceful atmosphere of the countryside (他們已經習慣了鄉村的寧靜)。
I am used to the heavy traffic during rush hour (我已經習慣了高峰時段的交通擁堵)。

Get used to + Ving/N構造

注意：“Get” 將根據句子的主語和時態像普通動詞一樣變化。

公式

肯定句	S + get + used to + V_ing/N	She got used to exercising every morning. 大致翻譯：她已經習慣了每天早上運動。
否定句	S + 助動詞 + not + used to + V_ing/N	He didn’t get used to eating with a fork, did you? 大致翻譯：他還不習慣用叉子吃飯嗎？
疑問句	助動詞 + S + get + used to + V_ing/N	Is he getting used to living his current life? 大致翻譯：他已經習慣現在的生活了嗎？

Get used to + Ving用法

“get used to” 構造常用於描述某人逐漸習慣某事或某個問題的過程。

例如：

After living in the city for a year, he finally got used to the noise (在城市生活一年後，他最終習慣了噪音)。
After a few weeks, she got used to the rhythm of the dance (幾個星期後，她已經習慣了舞蹈的節奏)。

使用 used to 時常見的錯誤

在使用英文中的 “used to” 構造時，使用者通常會犯以下幾個錯誤：

不使用 “to be”： “Used to” 是 “used to be” 的簡寫，所以不要忘記在 “used to” 後面使用 “to be”。例如：“I used to be a teacher” 而不是 “I used to a teacher”。
動詞使用錯誤: “Used to” 只用於原形動詞，不能與其他形式的動詞一起使用，例如帶有 ‘to’ 的原形動詞或帶有‘ing’的原形動詞。例如：“I used to play soccer” 而不是“I used to playing soccer”。
時態使用錯誤：“Used to” 只用於過去，不用於未來或現在。例如：“I used to live in New York”而不是 “I am used to living in New York”。
在 “used to” 後使用 “will”：“Will” 是未來時態，不能用在 “used to” 後。例如：“I used to go to the gym every day, but now I don’t” 而不是 “I used to go to the gym every day, but now I will not”。
