93 -used to-
Nota d'uso1 used to + infinito indica un'azione che avveniva abitualmente in passato o uno stato di cose passato; il tempo corrispondente italiano è l'imperfetto: When I was a child my family used to spend the summer holidays in Brighton, quando ero piccolo la mia famiglia trascorreva (o era solita trascorrere, soleva trascorrere) le vacanze estive a Brighton; She used to be very pretty, una volta era molto carina; There used to be only fields here, un tempo qui c'era solo campagna; We still meet on Saturdays, but not as often as we used to, ci vediamo ancora il sabato, ma non spesso come una volta.used to possiede diverse forme negative. Le due più comuni sono didn't use to ( She didn't use to do the housework, una volta non faceva i lavori di casa) e used not to ( I used not to listen to the radio, but now I do, una volta non ascoltavo la radio, ma adesso sì): la prima è più colloquiale, la seconda – propria di un verbo modale – è più formale ed è diffusa soprattutto in GB. Altre alternative sono la forma contratta usedn't to ( They usedn't to ask my opinion, di solito non chiedevano la mia opinione) e used to not ( They used to not ask my opinion), entrambe piuttosto formali e didn't used to, più colloquiale e da alcuni ritenuta scorretta ( They didn't used to ask my opinion).Analogamente, esistono varie forme interrogative. La più normale è quella con l'ausiliare do e il verbo all'infinito: Did you use to play basketball at college?, giocavi a basket all'università? È possibile anche la forma con do e used, nonostante non tutti la considerino accettabile: Did you used to play basketball at college? Antiquata ed essenzialmente limitata all'inglese britannico è la costruzione modale, che consiste nell'anteporre used al soggetto: Used you to go to church on Sundays?, la domenica andavi a messa?2 to be used to significa essere abituato (o avvezzo) a; quando è seguito da un verbo, questo ha la forma in - ing: She is [was] used to his vagaries, è [era] abituata alle sue stravaganze; I'm used to working on holidays and weekends, sono abituato a lavorare durante le vacanze e nei fine settimana; I'm not used to it, non ci sono abituato. to get used to + - ing significa abituarsi: I will never get used to eating this stuff, non mi abituerò mai a mangiare questa roba.Si noti la differenza tra I used to read a lot e I'm used to reading a lot: la prima frase significa che un tempo leggevo molto e ora non lo faccio più, mentre la seconda vuole dire che sono abituato a leggere molto. -
