7. THE FORM OF “USED TO” • Affirmative: S+ Used to + base Verb. E.g.: We used to sit next to each other in class. • Questions: Did + S + use to + base Verb ? E.g.: Did they use to smoke? • Negatives: S + didn’t / did not + use to + base Verb… E.g.: My mother didn’t use to stay up late.

8. Uses of “used to” • We use used to to express a PAST habit. E.g.: We used to collect stamps when we were kids. (We collected stamps when we were kids. Now we don’t collect stamps anymore.) • We use used to to refer to a state in the past. E.g.: I used to be good at piano. (I was good at piano, but now I’m not that good.) • We also use used to to make a contrast between the past and the present. E.g.: The shop used to open in the early morning but it doesn’t any more.

9. Uses of “used to” “I used to play a lot” means • I do not play a lot now. • I do not play a lot anymore. • I no longer play a lot.

10. Possible mistakes: • Used to is used in the past only. E.g.: “I get up early” not “I use to get up early”. • Used to + V-inf. to describe a habit in the past; but Used to + V-inghas a totally different meaning. • “Did you use to…?” but not “did you used to…?” • Pronunciation. -> click to learn more

12. Exercise 1:

13. Be used to / get used to doing sth • Be used to / Get used to + V-ing Ex: I’m used to going to bed early. • Uses: ->Something you are accustomed to. It was difficult, strange, or unusual, but is no longer. -> “Get used to” expresses the process of change. Ex. : I’m getting used to the climate. -> It means “to be familiar with”.

14. Exercise 2:

15. “Would” and “used to” • When we are remembering the past, we sometimes use would to replace “used to”. e.g.: On those good days in Rome, we’d start the day with the sunrise, and then we’d spend time… • We use “used to” first, then we continue with “would”. e.g.: When he was a boy, he used to spend his holiday on a farm. He would get up early and help milk the cow…

16. “Would” and “used to” • Would cannot be used to describe a state in the past. e.g.: I’d like eating chips when I was five. • When would is stressed, it expresses annoys. e.g.: As a child, my younger brother would always make me angry.

17. Willandwould • He’ll sit in his chair for hours on end.

18. Supply the missing forms: using used to, be used to, get used to, will, would. • Ex: She … (cry) at the end of a sad film. -> will cry • He … (buy) a new T-shirt and wear it once. Don’t you think that’s wasteful of him? • When I was young, we … (have) holidays by the sea-side. We … (go) to the same place year-after-year. • He … (do) the cooking but then he stopped. • Jack … (do) the cooking because he’s been doing it for years. • He … (do) the cooking but he still burns things. Maybe someday he’ll get it.

19. Answer keys: • Will cry • Will buy • Used to have/ would go • Used to do • Is used to doing • Is getting used to doing
