1. used to do 过去常常做某事

词频: K1 基础短语 | 词性: 情态动词短语

课文原句:

Our dog, Rex, used to sit outside our front gate and bark.

深度解析:

维度内容
核心含义表示过去习惯性的动作或状态,现已不再持续
结构形式used to + 动词原形
肯定式He used to smoke.(他过去抽烟)
否定式He didn’t use to smoke. / He used not to smoke.
疑问式Did he use to smoke? / Used he to smoke?

辨析对比:

  • used to do → 过去常常(现已不):I used to play football.(现在不踢了)
  • be used to doing → 习惯于:I am used to getting up early.(习惯了早起)
  • be used to do → 被用来做:The knife is used to cut bread.(工具用途)

课文语境: 说明Rex”过去常常”坐在门外叫,暗示这个行为后来发生了变化,为后文的训练做铺垫。

instantly强调瞬间The pain stopped instantly.

课文语境: “immediately”强调了Rex行为的连贯性和机械性——出去→进来→叫,形成一个循环,突出了这个”坏习惯”的荒谬。
