Unit 2  I used to be afraid of the dark

but we don’t
see them very often these days.
    他們過去和我們住在同一條街道，所以我們經常能看見他們，但現在我們不能經常見到他們了。
    •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.
    當我還是個孩子時，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?
    當你來這兒之前你住哪兒？
  3. used to這個詞組只用于講述過去，我們不能用use to來講述現在
    •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.
    如果動詞（或動詞短語）相同，則第二個動詞可省略。（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應放在主要動詞前面（use still before the main verb）
    he still lives in new zealand.
    still應放在be動詞后面。
    he is still crazy after all these years.
    still 應放在像can, may, should這樣的助動詞之后
    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.）
    它們的位置應是：在主要動詞之前，在be動詞之后，在助動詞（will, can, have等）之后，在used to
之前。
    •i usually get up at six.
