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
I love music and I can say that I’m fond of a lot of music styles. It depends on my mood: sometimes I need some energetic and light disco music but I can also enjoy classical, lyrical or jazz pieces of music as well. And there is one singer I can listen to at any time. Her name is Rihanna.
My love for her started several years ago. It was in 2007 when I turned on the radio and the DJ said: “Here is a new single from Rihanna.” I fell in love with that song immediately. The young girl was singing “The umbrella”. The tune was very catchy, the voice was so soft and deep. I couldn’t help dancing and singing along with her. That song became a hit at once and it was one of the best-selling singles of all time.
My favourite singer was born in 1988 in Barbados and her full name is Robyn Rihanna Fenty. Today she has released 7 studio albums so far and has already sold more than 150 million records worldwide. Rihanna has earned numerous music awards. She always gets stadiums full of her fans. I also dream of visiting her concert some day and dance to her tremendous songs in reggae, hip-hop and R’n’B styles. The lyrics in her songs are quite meaningful and romantic.
Rihanna is a very beautiful and talented person. She is not just a singer with a powerful voice, she is also an actress and a successful fashion designer.
