高考英语中介词to的动词短语高频率出现，这些用法你是否已经掌握？

英语不定式是以to do something 形式出现,这里的to 是不定式符号，没有实在意义。然而, 一些动词与介词to 搭配构成短语，从形式上看，与不定式很相似，但是这里的to 后面应该接-ing 动名词短语。下面列举一些常见的搭配形式。

1.look forward to 盼望；期待(通常以愉快的心情）

We're looking forward to seeing you very soon.

我们盼望很快再见到你。

2.be /become used to 习惯于；适应于

I'm not used to being spoken to in that rude way.

我不习惯于别人对我那样粗鲁地讲话。

注意：used to do 与be / become used to doing 的区别。前者指过去经常的习惯(indicating a constant or frequent practice in the past) ，后面接原形动词构成不定式形式，后者指现在的习惯，接动名词构成介词短语。

此外，当be used 表示被动语态时，意思是“被使用，被用来",后面应该接不定式。如：Wood is often used to make paper. 木材常被用来造纸。

3.be / become accustomed to 习惯于

The boy has become accustomed to speaking English in public.

那孩子已经习惯于在公众面前说英语了。

4.object to 不赞成；反对
