Good morning!

Today's goals

• At the end of this lesson, you can use "used to" to refer to past events and routines
• At the end of this lesson, you can use "used to" correctly in a sentence

 

How to use "Used to"?

• You use used to + verb to talk about past states that are no longer true.

Example: I used to have a car, but now I don't. 

• You use used to+ verb to talk about regular past actions that don't happen anymore

Example: We used to talk, but now we don't anymore.

• You DON'T use used to + verb to talk about a past action that happened once. You use the PAST SIMPLE. 

Example: His friends caught a big fish yesterday. 

(NOT used to catch)

When to use :"Used to"

In negative sentences, we say "use to" and not "used to".

Example: 

We didn't use to work for him

Example:
