1. 表示做某事的习惯,其后通常要接 of doing sth作定语,通常不接不定式。如:

I make a habit of never lending money to strangers. 我自己立下个规矩,从来不把钱借给生人。

类似下面这样的句子虽然在habit后接了不定式,但不是定语,而是主语,注意句首使用的形式主语。如:

It is her habit to go for a walk after supper. 晚饭后散步是她的习惯。

It was not his habit to ask people for things. 他没有向别人要东西的习惯。

2. 注意以下有用搭配:

(1) 表示具有做某事的习惯,通常与have, be in搭配。如:

Is it in the habit of biting people? 你的狗咬人吗?

He has in the habit of rising early. 他有早起的习惯。

(2) 表示养成、沾染、形成做某事的习惯,通常与acquire, develop, fall into, form, get into, make等动词搭配。如:

You need to form the habit of reading carefully. 你需要养成仔细阅读的习惯。

I’ve got into the habit of switching on the TV as soon as I get home. 我已养成一到家就打开电视机的习惯。

It’s very easy to fall into the habit of smoking, but extremely difficult to stop. 要养成吸烟的习惯很容易,但要戒掉却极其困难。

(3) 表示打破或戒除做某事的习惯,通常与break, get out of, get rid of, give up, kick等动词搭配。如:

I wish I could get out of the habit of smoking. 我希望我能改掉吸烟的习惯。

You must break off [get rid of] the habit of telling lies. 你必须戒掉说谎的习惯。

3. 表示“出于习惯”,一般用介词out of habit。如:

有时也用from the habit。如:
