"get into the habit of" 是英语中常用的动词短语,核心含义是:养成(做某事的)习惯(强调“从无到有、逐渐形成”的过程)。
该短语后需接名词/动名词(doing sth.)(因为 "of" 是介词,介词后需接名词性成分),完整结构为:
1、 主语:通常是人(表示“某人养成…的习惯”);
2、 强调过程:突出“原本没有这个习惯,后来慢慢养成”的动态变化(区别于 "have the habit of" 仅表示“有…习惯”的静态状态);
3、 常见搭配:可与表示“需要、应该、不要”等的表达连用,强调习惯的“养成”或“避免养成”。
正面习惯:
I need to get into the habit of exercising every morning.

form the habit of:更正式,强调“主动培养”(如:Form the habit of planning your day ahead. 养成提前规划一天的习惯。);
develop the habit of:侧重“逐步发展、形成”(如:Develop the habit of listening actively in conversations. 养成对话中积极倾听的习惯。);
fall into the habit of:常含“无意中、不知不觉养成”(多接负面习惯,如:He fell into the habit of staying up late. 他不知不觉养成了熬夜的习惯。)。
"get into the habit of" 是口语化、常用的“养成习惯”表达,重点在于“过程”,后接动名词或名词,适用于描述“好习惯的培养”或“坏习惯的避免”。
