Study Notes
Modal Verbs: Might, May, Could, Must, and Can't
- Modal verbs are used to express possibility or certainty regarding present and past situations.
- Might, may, and could indicate potential or hypothetical scenarios, e.g., "There might be life forms on Mars."
- Negative forms (might not, may not) indicate negative possibilities, e.g., "Their information might not be correct."
- Must indicates strong belief or certainty, while can’t signifies disbelief or impossibility, e.g., "It can’t be true."
- Present positive structure: might/may/could/must + infinitive or continuous verb form.
- Present negative structure: might not/may not/can’t/couldn’t + infinitive or continuous verb form.
- Past positive structure: might/may/could/must + have + past participle.
- Past negative structure: might not/may not/can’t/couldn’t + have + past participle.
Questions and Usage
- Questions are not typically formed with might, may, or must. Instead, use “could” or rephrase as “Do you think...?”
- Can’t have and couldn’t have are interchangeable, representing disbelief or impossibility in past contexts.
- Mustn't is not used for guesses about the possibility; can’t is preferred in such cases.
Understanding "Used To"
- Used to expresses actions or situations that were habitual in the past but no longer occur.
- Be/get used to signifies familiarity with something that is no longer new or unusual.
- Structure for used to: subject + used to + infinitive, indicating past habits (e.g., "I used to drive to work").
- For negatives: didn’t use to or never used to indicate lack of past habits (e.g., "I didn’t use to get much exercise").
- Questions formed with: Did + subject + use to + infinitive (e.g., "Did you use to ride a bike?").
Be/Get Used To
- Forms:
- Positive: subject + be/get used to + noun/pronoun or -ing form (e.g., "I’m used to getting wet").
- Negative: subject + not be/not get used to + noun/pronoun or -ing form (e.g., "They weren’t used to cycling").
- Questions formed by:
- Be + subject + used to + noun/pronoun or -ing?
- Auxiliary verb + subject + get used to + noun/pronoun or -ing?
Pronunciation and Common Errors
- “Used” in both "used to" and "be/get used to" has a soft /s/ sound; the letter d is often silent.
- The weak form of "to" is used, except in the short response "Yes, I used to," pronounced as /tu:/.
Summary of Key Differences
-
Used to denotes repeated actions in the past; be/get used to indicates familiarity or adaptation over time.
-
Be/get used to can be used in any tense, while used to strictly refers to past actions or situations.### Understanding "Used to" and "Be/Get Used to"
-
Used to + Infinitive: Describes actions that occurred regularly in the past but no longer happen.
-
Emphasizes repetition and regularity, unlike the past simple tense.
-
Example: "I used to drive to work every day, but now I cycle."
-
Past Situations: Used to indicate situations that were once true but are not anymore.
-
Example: "There used to be lots of old forests here."
-
Negative Forms of Used to:
- Structure: Subject + didn’t use to + infinitive.
- Alternatives: "I never used to..." or "I used not to..." in formal contexts.
-
Be Used to: Indicates familiarity with something; something is not new, unusual, or difficult anymore.
-
Example: "I’m used to it now," showing a comfortable state due to experience.
-
Get Used to: Refers to the gradual process of becoming familiar with something; finding it less unusual or difficult over time.
-
Example: "I got used to cycling after a couple of weeks."
Forms and Structure
-
Used to:
- Positive: Subject + used to + infinitive.
- Incorrect: "I am used to be stuck in traffic."
- Negative: Subject + didn’t use to + infinitive.
- Positive: Subject + used to + infinitive.
-
Be/Get Used to:
- Positive: Subject + be/get used to + noun/pronoun or -ing form.
- Example: "I’m used to getting wet when it rains."
- Negative: Subject + not be/not get used to + noun/pronoun or -ing.
- Positive: Subject + be/get used to + noun/pronoun or -ing form.
Usage Notes
-
Both "be used to" and "get used to" can apply to present, past, and future contexts.
-
Create questions using:
- Be + subject + used to + noun/pronoun/ -ing?
- Did + subject + get used to + noun/pronoun/ -ing?
-
Common Questions:
- "Did it use to take you long to get to work?" – Response options include "Yes, it did."
Pronunciation
- "Used" has a soft /s/ sound; the "d" is silent.
- The weak form of "to" /tə/ is used, except in short answers where it is pronounced as /tu:/.
Important Takeaways
- Used to is strictly for describing past actions or situations, with no present or future form applicable, e.g., "I usually cycle to work" is correct instead of "I use to cycle to work."
- The absence of "d" in "didn’t use to" and "did you use to" is correct; however, it's common for people to mistakenly add a "d".### Used To
- Structure: "Did + subject + use to + infinitive." Example: "Did it use to take you a long time to get to work?" Responses: "Yes, it did." / "Yes, it used to."
- Past Habit: Indicates an action that occurred regularly in the past but not anymore. Example: "I used to drive to work every day, now I cycle."
- No Present/Future Form: "Used to" is strictly past; not applicable in present or future contexts. Example: "I usually cycle to work" (not "I use to cycle").
- Negative and Interrogative Forms: "Didn’t use to" and "Did you use to" omit the 'd' at the end of "use" in correct usage.
Be/Get Used To
- Positive Structure: "Subject + be/get used to + noun/pronoun/-ing." Example: "I'm used to getting wet when it rains."
- Negative Structure: "Subject + not be/not get used to + noun/pronoun/-ing." Example: "My colleagues weren’t used to seeing me on a bike."
- Usage Questions: Formulate questions like "Are your colleagues used to you cycling to work now?" or "Did they get used to it quickly?"
Pronunciation
- "Used" Pronunciation: Soft /s/ sound; the 'd' is not pronounced.
- Weak Form of "to": Generally pronounced as /tə/, except in short responses where it is pronounced as /tu:/.
Distinction Between Concepts
- Used To vs. Be/Get Used To: "Used to" refers to past habits or states; "be used to" indicates familiarity with something; "get used to" implies a transition to becoming familiar or comfortable with something new.
Modal Verbs
- Common Modals: Might, may, could, must, can't.
- Present Usage: These modals express possibilities or truth. Example: "There might be life forms on Mars."
- Negative Form: Construct negative possibilities using "might not" or "can't."
Modal Verb Structures
- Present Positive: "Might + infinitive." Example: "The information might be correct."
- Present Negative: "Might not / can’t + infinitive." Example: "Their information might not be correct."
- Past Positive: "Must + have + past participle." Example: "There must have been water on Mars."
- Past Negative: "Might not / can't + have + past participle." Example: "Scientists can’t have found anything definite."
Questions and Clarifications
- Questions Formation: Avoid using "might," "may," or "must" in question formats; prefer "could" or use "do you think...?" structure.
- Using "mustn't": Not used for making guesses; instead, "can’t" is appropriate. Example: "These figures don’t add up. They can’t be correct."
Practical Applications
- Getting Used To Changes: Adaptation to new routines or practices can take time. Example: "I got used to cycling after a couple of weeks."
- Estimating Possibilities: Use modal verbs to express certainty, uncertainty, and possibilities in both present and past contexts.
