modal verb /ˈjuːst tuː/
Related words
Used to is usually followed by an infinitive: used to 通常后接不定式: We used to swim in the river. 我们过去常在这条河里游泳。 But sometimes the following infinitive is left out: 但有时后面的不定式可以省略: I don't play golf now, but I used to. 我现在不打高尔夫球了，但过去常打。
Used to only exists as a past tense. used to只有过去时。
Questions and negatives are usually formed with ‘did' + use to (with no ‘d'): 在疑问句和否定句中通常用did+use to （不带d）: Did you use to work here? 你以前在这里工作吗？ We didn't use to earn much. 我们过去挣钱不多。 The spelling ‘did used to' is sometimes used, but many people think that this is wrong. 有时也拼写作did used to， 但许多人认为这种拼法是错误的。
In formal English, negatives are often formed with used not to: 在正式英语中，否定形式常常是used not to: They used not to allow shops to be open on Sundays. 他们以前不允许商店在星期天营业。 The short forms usen't to and usedn't to are sometimes used, but they sound rather formal and old-fashioned. 有时也使用缩略式usen’t to 和usedn’t to， 但听上去相当正式和过时。
