Hello, hello! What's it like where you are today? We hope the sun is shining on you and all those you love.
Here's your Thursday WordMaster! |
When we want to say that we do something with a tool, piece of equipment, material, etc. (for example, we heat food with a microwave oven), we can say that the tool, etc. is used to do something. So we can say, for example, "A microwave oven is used to heat food." (Pronounce "used" /yuzd/.)
(Be careful: We usually do NOT ask, "What is this used to do?" Rather we ask, "What is this used for?")
道具や物などが何かをする目的のために使われる、と言いたいとき、be used to do という表現を使います。例:A microwave oven is used to heat food.( 電子レンジは食べ物を温めるために使われる)used は、/yuzd/ と発音します。
注意:What is this used to do? とは普通言いません。 What is this used for?(これは何に使うのですか)と言います。 1. | a: | What's this tool used for? | | b: | It's used to remove old paint from walls. | | | | 2. | Ice cube trays can be used to freeze small amounts of beans or soup stock. | | | | 3. | Metal dishes should not be used to microwave foods. They could start a fire. |
| Until tomorrow!
