LESSON 10
THE + ADJECTIVES, USED TO+INFINITIVE
I. OBJECTIVES: By the end of the lesson, Ss can be able to:
- Know how to use the + adjectives, used to + infinitive correctly through doing some exercises.
II. PROCEDURES.
A. Theory:
I. The + adjective
a. Ta có th thnh lập danh từ tập hợp bằng cách thêm "the" vo trưc tính từ.
E.g. poor (adj): nghèo - the poor (n): những người nghèo
rich (adj): giàu - the rich (n): những người giàu
b. Danh từ tập hợp được dùng như danh từ số nhiều nên động từ theo sau nó được chia ở số nhiều.
E.g. The sick are taken care of by the doctors.
The poor need help from the sick.
24
The + adjective = common noun
ĐNG THC HA High School
II. Used to + Infinitive
10. Forms.
(+) S + used to + V(to inf.)
(-) S + didn't + use to + V(to inf.)

Did + S + use to + V(to inf.)?
(?)
Wh-questions + did + S + use to + V(to inf.)?
1. Usage.
a. Used to được dùng để diễn tả một thói quen trong quá khứ, thường là để chỉ sự tương phản với hiện
tại. Trong trường hợp này không nhất thiết phải dùng trạng từ chỉ thời gian.
E.g. I used to smoke 20 cigarettes a day, but now I don't smoke.
b. Used to cũng có thể dùng để chỉ tình trạng trong quá khứ.
E.g. I used to own a house. (I owned a house once.)
He didn't use to go out at night with friends.
Did you your mother use to do morning exercises?
c. Phân biệt giữa cách dùng giữa USED TO v TO BE USED TO
* Used to + bare - infinitive: Chỉ một thói quen hay việc thường làm trong quá khứ.
E.g. He used to cried for candies. (Cậu ấy thường khóc đòi kẹo.)
She didn't use to be patient. (Cô ấy thường không kiên nhẫn lắm.)
* To be used to + gerund / noun: chỉ một việc ta quen lm ở hiện tại hoặc tương lai.
E.g. Are you used to driving on the left hand side? (Bạn có quen lái xe bên trái không?)
We are used to the noise from the factory.
(Chúng tôi quen với tiếng ồn phát ra từ nhà máy.)
Ngoài động từ TO BE, ta có thể dùng với các động từ như TO GET, TO BECOME với "used to" để
diễn tả việc bắt đầu quen với.
E.g. I have become used to driving on the left.
(Tôi đã quen với việc lái xe bên trái.)
She is getting used to working from morning till night.
(Cô ấy đã trở nên quen với việc làm việc từ sáng đến tối.)We use the + adjective to describe a group
of people as a whole
Example: the rich = rich people (a group of people who are rich)
*"Which" as a connector.
Ở trong phạm vi bài này, WHICH được dùng để thay thế cho một mệnh đề đứng trước nó.
E.g. She can't speak English. It is a disavatage.

She can't speak English, which is a disavatage.
(Cô ấy không nói được tiếng Anh và điều đó là một sự bất tiện.)
"Which" trong câu này thay thế cho " She can't speak English."
B. Exercises.
Exercises 1: Rewrite the sentences using a phrase with “the” and an adjective instead of the
underlined phrases.
1. People who have lots of money have comfortable lives.

The rich have comfortable lives.
2. We live near a special school for people who can’t hear.
