1. Cấu trúc Used to trong tiếng Anh

a.Công thức

b. Cách dùng

Cấu trúc used to hay cấu trúc used to V được sử dụng để nói về một thói quen, hành động, sự kiện hoặc trạng thái đã từng xảy ra trong quá khứ và không còn xảy ra trong hiện tại nữa. Đôi khi nó được dùng để nhấn mạnh về sự khác biệt giữa hiện thực và quá khứ.

Ví dụ:

Khẳng định (+):

He used to be a long distance runner when he was young_ Anh ấy đã từng là vận động viên chạy bền hồi còn trẻ.

There used to be a cinema here_ Ở đây từng có một rạp chiếu phim

Phủ định (-):

I didn’t use to go swimming_ Trước kia tôi không thường đi bơi

She didn’t use to drink that much coffee _Trước kia cô ấy không uống nhiều cafe như vậy

Nghi vấn (?):

Did he use to smoke?_ Trước kia anh ta có hút thuốc không?

Did you use to eat meat before becoming a vegetarian?_ Trước khi trở thành người ăn chay thì bạn có ăn thịt không?

c. Những lỗi hay gặp khi sử dụng cấu trúc Used to

Lỗi phổ biến nhất khi sử dụng Used to đó chính là bị nhầm lẫn giữa ba cấu trúc Used to V, Be used to V-ing/ danh từ và Get used to V-ing/ danh từ. Nhiều người lầm tưởng 3 cấu trúc này có ý nghĩa tương đương nhau.

Ví dụ:

We used to cook this dish. (Chúng tôi đã từng nấu món này.) => hiện tại không còn nấu nữa.

We are used to cooking this dish. (Chúng tôi quen với việc nấu món này rồi.) => thói quen đã được hình thành ở thời điểm nói.

We get used to cooking this dish. (Chúng tôi dần quen với việc nấu món này.) => đang dần hình thành thói quen.

Mọi người cũng thường mặc định rằng “used” là một động từ, không phải là tính từ, vì thế trong Be used to và Get used to, họ lựa chọn nhầm động từ nguyên dạng đi theo sau “used” thay vì danh từ hoặc danh động từ V-ing,

Ví dụ:

She is used to meeting him at night. => đúng

She is used to meet him at night. => sai
