我是《跟 Vanessa 一起學英文》的 Vanessa

I used to study English.

我以前學習英文

I'm used to studying English.

我現在在學英文

What's the difference?

這兩者差別在哪裡？

Let's talk about it.

現在就來談這兩個文法

The two verbs used to and be used to are often confused by English learners.

英文學習者常常把 used to 和 be used to 搞混

These expressions sound similar but they mean different things so today I'm going to help

這兩個句型看起來很像，但意思差很多，所以今天我就來教大家

you learn when to use them and also how to create a sentence structure that's correct

如何使用該句型並且造出正確的句子

and that's also going to be commonly used in daily conversations.

這些都是日常生活會使用到的說法

Let's start with the first one.

現在先講第一個句型

Used to.

used to

If I said to you, "I used to go to bed late," what does this sentence mean?

如果我說：「我以前很晚睡」，這是什麼意思呢？

What does imply?

背後的意義是什麼呢？

Well it implies two things.

use to 代表兩個意思

The first one is that there's a continual action that happened in the past.

第一個是過去一段時間有持續性的動作

I used to go to bed late means that continually, in the past, I went to bed late.

我過去很晚睡表示「過去一段時間內」我很晚才睡

But it also implies something else that's really important.

但還有另一個很重要的意思

It implies that I don't do this anymore.

也就是我現在不這麼做了

This continual action has stopped.

這持續性的動作已經停止

My sentence was, "I used to go to bed late," but what it really means is, "I used to go

我剛才說「我以前很晚睡」，其實我想表達的是

to bed late but now I don't."

「我以前很晚睡，但我現在已經不這麼做了」

You don't need to say that final part because it is implied.

通常我們不講最後一句，因為該句型包含這個意思

Implied means that we understand what you mean, but we're not exactly specifically saying

表示我們知道你講這句話的意思，但我們通常不會

it.

講出來

You could say, "I used to study English every day," and we understand in the past you continually

你可以說：「我過去每天學英文」，我們知道你想說的是過去有一段時間

studied English every day but now you don't do that anymore.

你每天學英文，但是你現在已經不這麼做了

You're continual actions have stopped.

這個持續性動作已經停止

I just shared with you a positive sentence using used to.

我剛才使用 used to 舉了一個肯定句

I used to go to bed late.

我過去很晚睡

But what if we want to formulate a negative sentence?

假如我們想要用否定句造句呢？

What will that mean?

那會是什麼意思呢？

What will that imply?

背後真正的意思是什麼呢？

If I said, "I never used to go to bed late," here we have a negative sentence.

如果我說「我過去從未晚睡」，這是一個否定句

Never.

從未

I never used to go to bed late.

我過去從未晚睡

What does this mean?

這是什麼意思呢？

What does this imply?

背後真正的意思是什麼呢？

What are we saying without saying it directly?

我們真正想表達的是什麼意思呢？

Well, if you remember from the positive sentences, it means that there was a continual action

如果你還記得肯定句的用法，意思是過去一段時間的持續性動作

but now that action has stopped.

但現在這個持續性動作已經停止

Here we have the opposite thing.

否定句剛好相反

There was not a continual action but now there is an action that's continuing to happen.

過去一段時間沒有持續性的動作，但現在這個動作持續性發生

If I said to you, "I never used to go to bed late," this means in the past I didn't go

如果我跟你說「我過去從不晚睡」，表示我過去這段時間

to bed late but it implies something has changed.

沒有很晚才睡，但現在這狀況改變了

Now I continually go to bed late.

現在我長時間晚睡

You could say, "I never used to go to bed late but now I do."

你可以說：「我過去從不晚睡，但我現在都很晚睡」

Both of these positive and negative sentences show that something has changed.

不管是肯定句還是否定句皆表示狀況的改變

An action that was continual has now stopped or an action that wasn't continual is now

一個持續性動作停止或是以前沒有做這個動作，但是現在

starting.

開始持續性的做

There is a change in something that's happening.

某個狀態正在改變

Now that you know what this expression means, let's talk about the sentence structure.

現在你已經知道這句型是什麼意思了，那我們就來談文法結構

How can you formulate and create a sentence that's accurate and correct with used to.

你如何用 used to 造出正確的句子

Well, the best way is to use used to plus an infinitive.

使用 used to 造句最好的用法是使用原型動詞 (to + V)

I used to go to bed late.

我過去很晚睡

I used to study English.

我過去學英文

I used to play with my sister.

我以前常跟我妹妹玩

Here we have used plus to play, to go, to study.

這裡我們使用 used to 加上 play，go，study

You're using these two parts together to create a beautifully grammatically correct sentence.

將兩者連接在一起便能造出非常優美且正確的句子

Before we go to the second expression I want to ask you a question.

介紹下一個文法之前，我想先問一個問題

What is something that you used to do when you were a child?

你小時候常做什麼事情嗎？

What did you used to do?

你曾經做過什麼呢？

Now you might remember, this means something that was a continual action in your childhood

你可能想到，這個句子是在問小時候的持續性動作

but now it doesn't happen anymore.

但現在已經不再這麼做了

It has stopped.

動作已經停止

You might say, "I used to do my homework every day."

你或許會說：「我以前每天都有做功課」

"I used to climb trees."

「我以前常爬樹」

"I used to call me friends."

「我以前常打給我朋友」

And that means those things don't happen anymore.

上述動作皆表示現在已經不再做了

They were continual in the past but now they're not.

那些動作以前是持續性，但現在不再是了

Take some time.

花點時間統整一下

Pause this video if you need to to write a sentence, to think of a sentence, to say a

你可以先按暫停，然後使用 use to 的句型思考並寫出一個句子，或者是大聲說出

sentence out loud using used to.

一個句子

Now we're going to move onto be used to.

現在我們來談 be used to

How can you make accurate sentences using this?

如何使用這句型造出正確的句子？

When can you use them?

什麼時候可以使用？

And also what are the difference between used to and be used to.

還有 used to 和 be used to 的差別在哪？

Let's talk about it.

現在就來談談

I'm used to drinking tea every morning.

我每天早上都會喝茶

Are you used to drinking tea?

你常喝茶嗎？

Or maybe you're used to drinking coffee.

還是或許你很常喝咖啡

What are you used to drinking every morning?

你每天早上會喝什麼呢？

This is using be used to.

上述是使用 be used to 造句

We're not using the first expression, which is used to, we're adding a be verb.

我們不用第一個句型 used to，我們改用 be + Ving

I am used to drinking tea every morning.

我每天早上都會喝茶

Here our key expression, be used to, is linked with every morning.

關鍵的句型是 be used to 必須加上「每天早上」

You can kind of have a sense of something that is a habit.

你可以說這個句型代表的是一種習慣

Something that right now is continuing now.

是一個正在發生且持續性的動作

It hasn't stopped.

沒有停止過

It is continuing.

持續性的情況

Every morning I drink tea.

每天早上我喝茶

And that's exactly what be used to means.

這就是 be used to 的意思

It's something that is continuing now.

就是正在發生的事情

It is your habit now.

就是一種現在的習慣

You might say, "I'm accustomed to drinking tea every morning."

你可以說：「我每天早上的習慣是喝茶」

But this expression, accustomed to is pretty formal and it's not really common in daily

不過這句型 accustomed to 的用法很正式，日常會話

conversation so instead you can say, "I'm used to studying English every morning."

較少出現，通常會改說：「我每天早上都學英文」

"I'm used to watching Vanessa's videos."

「我現在都聽 Vanessa 的影片」

"I'm used to doing something."

「我現在常常做某件事」

Let's talk about how you can make be used to sentences grammatically correct.

現在來談如何能用 be used to 造出文法正確的句子

Well, if you said, "I am used to sleeping late," here we have our key expression be

如果你說：「我很常晚睡」，這裡的用法是

used to plus sleeping.

be used to 加上 sleeping

Sleeping.

Sleeping

This is an I-N-G verb so you need to have an I-N-G verb directly after this expression.

這是一個動名詞 (Ving)，所以你需要在動詞後面加上 ing

I'm used to studying English with Vanessa.

我現在都和 Vanessa 學英文

I'm used to drinking tea.

我現在都喝茶

Make sure that you used that I-N-G verb.

記得一定要使用動名詞

Now I want to know for you, what's something that you're used to doing every morning?

現在我想知道，你每天早上都會做什麼事情呢？

You might say, "I'm used to hitting snooze on my alarm clock."

你或許會說：「我都會將鬧鐘的瞌睡設定按掉」

"I'm used to eating toast."

「我每天吃吐司」

"I'm used to running out the door because I'm always late."

「我每天急沖沖出門，因為我老是遲到」

What are you used to doing?

你每天都做什麼事呢？

This is a habitual action that happens all the time.

這是一個習慣性動作，很常發生的情況

It happens continually.

而且是持續性的發生

Before we go, let's do a quick recap.

結束之前，我們很快地複習一下

A recap is a review.

recap 指的是複習、回顧

If you say, "I used to study English every day," this means that it was continual but

如果你說：「我過去每天學英文」，表示以前持續做的動作

now it has changed.

現在情況已經改變

Now you don't study English every day.

你現在不再每天學英文

Or if you say, "I am used to studying English every day," this means that right now it is

如果你說：「我現在每天都學英文」，表示現在

a continual habit.

正發生的一個持續性習慣

You're continuing to do it.

你正在持續性做這個動作

I hope that that second one is true for you but let me know in the comments, what is something

我希望你們都有實踐第二個句子，務必在下方留言欄上，告訴我

that you are used to doing.

你每天做的事
