Объяснение:
Как же отличить форму времени глагола use от оборота used to? Рассмотрим примеры:
When I was writing my essay, I used information from the Internet. — Когда я писал сочинение, я использовал материалы из интернета.
I used to go to the library when I did not have Internet at home. — Я раньше ходил в библиотеку, когда у меня не было дома интернета.
Somebody used my toothbrush, it was wet. — Кто-то пользовался моей зубной щеткой, она была мокрая.
He used to brush his teeth three times a day. — Он раньше чистил зубы три раза в день.
В предложениях c глаголом use, глагол требует дополнения, выраженного существительным:
used information
used my toothbrush
Оборот used to согласуется не с существительным, а с глаголом:
used to go
used to brush
We all need words to speak and communicate. And for this reason, we are all curious about their origin. What about English and its origin?
Nearly 2 000 years ago it didn't exist. Five centuries later English was spoken by the people who lived in Great Britain. But their language wasn't English we know today. At the end of the 16th century English became the native language of about 6 million people. But it still wasn't spoken anywhere else except Great Britain.
Today English is spoken by 750 million people all over the world. English is one of the richest and the first truly global languages in the world. It has become the main language of business and sports. English has a vocabulary of about 500 000 words. But many words in English were borrowed from Latin, Dutch, French, Spanish and other languages.
