[UPDATE] Tất tần tật cấu trúc be used to: Công thức & bài tập

 

Trong Tiếng Anh, cấu trúc "be used to" được cá nhân sử dụng để diễn đạt cho việc quen thuộc với một tình huống, hoạt động hay trạng thái nào đó từ trước. Tìm hiểu tất tần tật toàn bộ công thức, bài tập cấu trúc be used to trong bài viết dưới đây.

Cấu trúc be used to là gì?

Cấu trúc "be used to" trong tiếng Anh được sử dụng để chỉ sự quen thuộc hoặc thích nghi với một hoàn cảnh, hoạt động hoặc thói quen nào đó. 

 

Khi người học muốn biểu đạt rằng một điều gì đó không còn làm họ cảm thấy lạ lẫm hoặc khó khăn nữa do đã trải qua hoặc tiếp xúc với nó trong một thời gian dài, "be used to" chính là cấu trúc phù hợp để diễn đạt ý đó.  

Công thức be used to. Be used to + gì?

Công thức của "be used to" có thể được diễn đạt như sau:

 

	Công thức	Ví dụ
Khẳng định	S + be (is, are,…) + used to + V-ing/Noun.	I am used to getting up early. (Tôi đã quen với việc thức dậy sớm.)  She is used to the cold weather. (Cô ấy đã quen với thời tiết lạnh.)
Phủ định	S + be (is, are,…) + not + used to + V-ing/Noun.	He is not used to working late. (Anh ấy không quen với việc làm việc muộn.)  They are not used to the noise. (Họ không quen với tiếng ồn.)
Nghi vấn	Be (is, are,…) + S + used to + V-ing/Noun?	Are you used to traveling alone? (Bạn đã quen với việc đi du lịch một mình chưa?)  Is she used to the new environment? (Cô ấy đã quen với môi trường mới chưa?)

Cấu trúc Be used to

Lưu ý khi sử dụng cấu trúc be used to

• Tránh nhầm lẫn với "used to" và "get used to": "Be used to" và "used to" thường gây nhầm lẫn. "Used to" dùng để chỉ thói quen trong quá khứ không còn tiếp diễn. Trong khi "get used to" nhấn mạnh quá trình thích nghi hoặc trở nên quen thuộc với điều gì đó mới mẻ hoặc không quen thuộc.
• Sau be used to không dùng động từ nguyên mẫu (V1): một lỗi phổ biến mà nhiều người mắc phải là theo thói quen sử dụng "to" đi kèm với dạng nguyên thể của động từ (V1), giống như trong cấu trúc chỉ mục đích như "aims to V1", “to V1”, “in order to V1)

Mở rộng một số cấu trúc khác với used: used to và get used to

• Used to: Cấu trúc này chỉ thói quen hoặc trạng thái trong quá khứ mà không còn nữa ở hiện tại. Ví dụ: "I used to drink coffee every morning, but now I prefer tea." (Tôi đã từng uống cà phê mỗi sáng, nhưng bây giờ tôi thích trà hơn.)

	Công thức	Ví dụ
Khẳng định	S + get + used to + V-ing/Noun	I got used to driving on the left.
Phủ định	S + do not (don't) + get + used to + V-ing/Noun	He doesn't get used to waking up early.
Nghi vấn	Do/Does + S + get + used to + V-ing/Noun?	Do you get used to working at night?

 

• Get used to: Đây là quá trình trở nên quen với một điều gì đó mới mẻ hoặc khác biệt so với trước. Cấu trúc này nhấn mạnh sự thích nghi dần dần. 

Ví dụ: "It took me a while to get used to driving on the right." (Tôi đã mất một thời gian để quen với việc lái xe bên phải.)

Thể	Công thức	Ví dụ
Khẳng định	S + used to + V1	I used to play football.
Phủ định	S + did not (didn't) + use to + V1	They didn't use to travel much.
Nghi vấn	Did + S + use to + V1?	Did she use to study French?
