?‘used to + infinitive’

We use ‘used to’ to talk about things that happened in the past – actions or states – that no longer happen now.

?She used to be a long distance runner when she was younger.

?I used to eat meat but I became a vegetarian 5 years ago.

?The negative is ‘didn’t use to’ and questions are formed with ‘Did you use to …?’

There is no present tense equivalent of ‘used to’. To talk about present habits we use the present simple and an adverb of frequency (usually, always, often, never, etc.)

? I often eat at the Japanese restaurant in the city centre.
