Brothers and Sisters When I was young I had argued with my brothers and sisters all the time. I used to share with most of my toys with my brother, but he specialised in to keeping them for himself. When I asked about him for anything he simply used to refuse to give it to me, and then I became and very angry with him. Our sisters blamed for everything on us when our parents accused us of quarrelling all the time. My brother and I got up annoyed about this, but only succeeded them in making matters worse. Our parents didn't approve of our quarrelling so much, and insisted us on not taking sides. They either laughed about it, or told us to forgive and each other for everything. Soon we became ashamed of quarrelling, and became good at last getting on well with each other.

ИТАК

1. Проверяйте глаголы и прилагательные по словарю, чтобы уточнить, какие предлоги следуют за ними.

2. В некоторых случаях предлогов может быть несколько и конкретный предлог, следующий за глаголом или прилагательным, определяет значение всего словосочетания.

3. Обращайте внимание на разницу между used to (см. Unit 1) и be used to:

I used to have a bike, but I sold it.

У меня когда-то был велосипед, но я его продал.

Разница в употреблении подразумевает контраст между прошлым и настоящим. To have является инфинитивом в данном предложении.

I am not used to getting up so early in the morning.

Я не привык (не имею привычки) рано вставать по утрам.

To – это предлог, а getting up – отглагольное существительное (герундий).
