用法筆記

Frequently paired with 'be', 'feel', 'find oneself', or 'become'. Cannot appear before a noun (e.g. 'an unused-to person' is wrong). Always takes a noun or gerund after 'to', never an infinitive.

💡After 'unused to', use a gerund (-ing form), not an infinitive.
❌She is an unused-to cold weather person.
✅She is unused to cold weather.
💡'Unused to' cannot be used as an attributive adjective before a noun.
