“It used to take months for a letter to reach the other side of the world. Now I can message or email and they receive it instantly.”

– “I used to enjoy going to the library….We used to be able to disconnect. Now it’s all about sharing your daily life on social network.”

they are referring to the past. But what does used to mean exactly?

“I used to enjoy going to the library,” is he talking about something he did once? Or is it something he did regularly?

“it used to take months for a letter to reach the other side of the world,” do we know exactly when? Or is she referring to an unspecified period of time?

1. example,(regular routine) he is talking about something he did on a regular basis in the past. He used to enjoy going to the library. Perhaps he went every week or every month – we don’t know exactly but we know he went there regularly. It was part of his routine. Does he still go now? Maybe, but he doesn’t enjoy it in the same way anymore. That has changed.

I used to live in Egypt when I was a child. (I lived there at some point in my childhood but I don’t live there now).

My family and I used to go to the seaside every summer for a caravan holiday but we always go on city breaks now. (At some time in the past, we went to the seaside in the summer time and we did this for many years. However, now we go on a different kind of holiday).

My husband used to smoke a packet of cigarettes a day! Thankfully, he’s given up now. (This was a past habit my husband had but he doesn’t do this anymore).

2. general examples: Fact, Belief

Did you know that in the Middle Ages, most people used to think the Earth was flat?

It used to snow a lot more when I was younger but winters are much milder now.

In summary, we can use ‘used to’ to talk about:

A past routine or habit

A past state

A past truth or belief

3. What about negative forms? Take another look at this example from our debate:

Amith said: “We didn’t use to have to rely on our phones to remember our phone numbers.”

In this example, he is talking about something that was not true in the past but is true now (personally, I used to know all my relatives’ and friends’ phone numbers when I was younger – I still do! – but now, I have to use my phone to remember numbers, including my own!)

Here are some more examples:

I didn’t use to own a car but now I have one. (In the past, I never had a car but that is different now).

I didn’t use to like broccoli at all! (I didn’t like it in the past but now I do).

We can also use ‘never’ to give a negative meaning:

There never used to be a park here when I was a kid.

I never used to cook at home much but now I make my own meals all the time.

Q/A.

Did you use to watch TV show when you were a kid?

Did people really use to think we would have flying cars in 2015
