I USED TO
It isn't as easy as it sounds. For example let's talk about Bill. Here's some background about Bill:
- Bill was born in Texas.
- Bill has never lived in Europe.
- Bill recently moved to California.
- He has been to Japan, but only once.
Now let's ask Bill 4 questions using "use to":
- Did you use to live in Texas? Yes, I did.
- Did you use to live in Europe? No, I didn't.
- Did you use to live in California? No, I still do.
- Did you use to visit Japan? No, only once.
#1 and #2 should be easy enough for everyone to answer. But there are two special conditions about "I used to".
* "I used to" means that I don't anymore. So #3 must be NO! I still do. I do now.
* "I used to" means that it was regular. So #4 must be NO! I only did it once. Never regularly.
So try making a few questions using "Did you use to XXXX", and try making some answers for yourself!
