归纳拓展
(1) used to do, be used to sth. / doing sth. 与be used to do
used to 表示过去经常发生的动作或存在的状态,但现在已不再发生或存在。
(2)be used to sth. / doing sth. 结构,意为“习惯于”。be可用于多种时态,可用get或become替换,以表示“逐渐习惯于”。
(3)be used to sth.意为“被用来做某事”,其中use是及物动词“使用”,是被动结构,不可和系表结构的be use to doing sth.相混淆。
2.so that
例句观察

Jack worked hard so that he might get a good job.

归纳拓展
(1) so that=in order that。但位于句首时,只能用in order that不能用so that。So that既可引导结果状语从句,又可引导目的状语从句,而in order that只能引导目的状语从句。
(2) so as to 与in order to大致相似,但用于句首时只能用in order to。

归纳拓展
too…to结构一般表示否定含义,意为“太……以致于不能”。
但too…to在下列情况下却不表示肯定含义:
(1) 当too前或to前有否定词构成双重否定时。
e.g: English is not too difficult to learn.
