Used to
Used to + infinitive

We use this expression to talk about habits or repeated actions or habbitual in the
past which we don’t do in the present. We also use it to talk about states in the
past which are no longer true. Used to is generally treated as an ordinary verb to
form the negative and the interrogative. In a more formal context, used to can act
as a modal verb, that is to say, the alternative given above without did.

(+) S+Used to+Verb1+O/C/A

(-) S+Didn’t use to+Verb1+O/C/A
(?) Did +S+ use to +Verb1+O/C/A

Used to or to be Used to has the same meaning with be accustomed to, that is:
“terbiasa/biasa“, mean while get used to = become accustomed to, that is:
“menjadi terbiasa“. The difference is in the pattern of usage (grammar).
1. S + USED TO + VERB1…
2. S + BE USED TO + GERUND/NOUN…
3. S + BE ACCUSTOMED TO + GERUND/NOUN …
4. S + GET USED TO + GERUND/NOUN…
5. S + BECOME ACCUSTOMED TO + GERUND/ NOUN…

 For example :
a. I used to have long hair (now I have short hair)
b. He used to be a postman a long time ago. ( He’s a taxi driver now)
c. They used to live in India (now They live in Germany)

Watch out! With the negative and the quetion it’s “use” and not “used”:
1. Did you use to go to the office by bus?
(Apakah dulu kamu terbiasa pergi ke kantor naik bis?)
2. Did he use to study French?
(Apakah dulu dia terbiasa belajar perancis?)
3. She didn’t use to like chocolate, but she does now. (Dulu dia tidak menyukai
coklat, tapi ia menyukainya sekarang)

2. To be Used to

To be use to + gerund (V-ing)

We use ‘to be used to’ to say that something is normal, not unusual
1. I’m used to living on my own. I’ve done it for quite a long time.
2. Hans have lived in England for over a year so he is used to driving on the left
now.

Structure of Be used to. The structure is:

subject + be + used to + object

Subject Main Verb Be Not Used To Object

+ I Am used to horses.
- He Is not used to horses.
We aren't used to horses.
? Are You used to horses?
If the object invoves a verb, we use the -ing form:
I Am Not Used To Being Lied To.

He Is Used To Working Late.

We Aren't Used To Taking The Bus.

Why do we use -ing for a verb after be used to? Because we always use -ing for a
verb after a preposition - and the to is a preposition.

about the past. Would is a modal verb expressing some kind of imaginary or
hypothetical situation. Would is often contracted to 'd, for example:

kali.

7. Different Used To and Would

Used to and would are both use to describe something that happened regularly in
the past but doesn't happen any longer, as shown in the following two sentences
about quitting smoking:
1. I used to smoke, but I quit last year.
2. Whenever I craved a cigarette, I would chew gum instead.

However, there are two important differences between used to and would.
The first difference is that would should not be used unless it has already been
established that the time frame is in the past, while used to does not require
this. This example, with used to at the beginning, sounds natural:
 I used to watch cartoons every Saturday morning when I was very little. Now I
rarely watch TV.
However, when used to is replaced with would, the same example becomes
awkward and ungrammatical:
 *I would watch cartoons every Saturday morning when I was very little. Now I
rarely watch TV.
But if the past time frame is established before would appears, would sounds fine.
 When I was little, I would get up and watch cartoons every Saturday morning.
Now I rarely watch TV.
The second difference between used to and would is that would is not used
with stative verbs such as love, be, understand, and feel. Compare these two
sentences with the stative verb love:
 When I was a student, I used to love sleeping late on the weekends. (natural
and grammatical)
 *When I was a student, I would love sleeping late on weekends. (awkward
and ungrammatical)

To summarize, the use of would is more restricted than that of used to. Therefore,
if you aren't sure which one to use, it's best to choose used to.
Insert used to or would in the spaces provided.
1. She __________ shout at me whenever we met.
2. He __________ drink wine with a straw.
3. They __________ alight at this bus-stop.
4. He __________ be infatuated with her, but now he hates her.
