2.1.4 Hábitos en el Pasado (Used to)

USE TO 

We use 'used to' for something that happens regularly in the past but no longer happens.

EXAMPLE:

 

  • I used to smoke a packet a day but I stopped two years ago.
  • Lord Albert used to go hunting when he was younger.
  • I used to drive to work but now I take the bus.

 

We also use it for something that was true but  no longer is.

EXAMPLE:

 

  • She used to have really long hair but she's had it all cut off.
  • There used to be a cinema in the town but now there isn't.
