 Affirmative:
S+ Used to + base Verb.
E.g.: We used to sit next to each other in class.
 Questions:
Did + S + use to + base Verb ?
E.g.: Did they use to smoke?
 Negatives:

 We
use USED TO to express a PAST habit.
E.g.: We used to collect stamps when we were kids.
(We collected stamps when we were kids. Now we
don’t collect stamps anymore.)
 We use USED TO to refer to a state in the past.
E.g.: I used to be good at piano. (I was good at
piano, but now I’m not that good.)
 We also use USED TO to make a contrast between
the past and the present.
E.g.: The shop used to open in the early morning but
it doesn’t any more.
 Used
to is used in the past only.
E.g.: “I get up early” not “I use to get up early”.
 Used
to + V-inf. to describe a habit in the
past; but Used to + V-ing has a totally
different meaning.
 “Did you use to…?” but NOT “did you used
to…?”
 Pronunciation.

 Be
used to / Get used to + V-ing
Ex: I’m used to going to bed early.
 Uses:
->Something you are accustomed to. It was
difficult, strange, or unusual, but is no longer.
-> “Get used to” expresses the process of change.
Ex. : I’m getting used to the climate.
-> It means “to be familiar with”.
 When
we are remembering the past, we
sometimes use would to replace “used to”.
e.g.: On those good days in Rome, we’d start
the day with the sunrise, and then we’d
spend time…
 We use “used to” first, then we continue
with “would”.
e.g.: When he was a boy, he used to spend his
holiday on a farm. He would get up early and
help milk the cow…
 Would
cannot be used to describe a state in
the past.
e.g.: I’d like eating chips when I was five.
 When
would is stressed, it expresses annoys.
e.g.: As a child, my younger brother would
always make me angry.
