Konunun özeti

Most personality adjectives come in opposite pairs such as generous and selfish. Used to describes a past habit or state that has ended, while be used to describes what a person accepts today. To describe people in longer sentences, add a relative clause with who, which, that, whose or where, and put commas around it when it gives only extra information.

Sık yapılan hatalar

• Confusing used to and be used to: Used to with a verb talks about a habit that has ended, but be used to with a noun or with the -ing form talks about what we accept today.
• Adding -s to the verb after used to: The verb form never changes with this structure, so write she used to play and never she used to plays.
• Forgetting the commas in a non-defining clause: Extra information about a person is placed between two commas, as in my cousin, who is a doctor, lives abroad.
