二.Key structures: used to 与 would
⑴ used to 和would 都可用来描述在过去某一段时间内的习惯动作或经常做的事,一般来说,我们用used to 来开始一段故事;used to 可用来表示现在与过去的对比,而 would 不能。 eg:I used to go work by bus. Now I go by car.
eg:I have given up smoking. I used to smoke very heavily.
⑵ used to 可用来表示过去的状态和情况; would 只表示过去重复的动作,不能表示状况和情况: eg:This sort of novel used to be very popular .
这类小说曾经是很受欢迎
⑶ would 可用于表是过去很不规则的的习惯,所以常和 often , always , frequently , sometimes 等时间频度副词连用;在非正式文体中 used to 也可以这样用: 短语:
When I was young, I used to have a lot more free time than I do now . I used to live near my work and would always get home early. Sometimes I would do a bit of gardening or go for a walk. Now I never have time of anything like that.
Exercise:
1)He used to smoke a lot , but now he has give up . 2)It is said pirates used to / would hide gold here . 3)The pirates would / used to often bury gold in the cave 4)The river used to be clean . 这条河曾经是干净的
5)’I’ll leave this job for a better one’ . he would say when he was scolded by his boss.
