Used To: Introduction

Use "used to" + base verb for past habits or states that are no longer true. It doesn't describe a single past action — only repeated or long-lasting ones.

Examples

• I used to live in Chicago.
• She used to play the piano every day.
• They didn't use to like vegetables.
• Did you use to work here?
• We used to be neighbors.
