CARRION. 1 “A”
 USEP TO
The verb "use" means "to use" or "to
use". However, when we use this verb
in the past simple, plus the preposition
“to”, as a modal verb, the meaning
changes. Also, “used to” can be used
as an adjective. Below is an
explanation of the different uses.
Used to (Soler)
We use the modal verb "used to" to indicate
something that happened or happened in the
past on a regular basis. Also, it is used for
something that used to be true but is no longer
true. As with the other modal verbs, "used to" is
followed by the base form of the verb (the
infinitive without "to").

When "used to" is used as an adjective it means "to be used to".

It is used for things that are familiar, normal, or common and
can be used in any tense. When “to be used to” is followed by a
verb, the verb must be in the gerund

We used to go to the beach every summer when I was young.

(Cuando era joven solíamos ir a la playa cada Verano.)
ish means to use or use, but when
ast and accompanied by the
o", the meaning changes. In English,
sed to" is mainly as a modal verb, and
, also as an adjective. We show you in
use this formula and what meaning it
What does the modal verb "used to" mean in English
The modal verb "used to" is used to indicate something that
happened in the past on a regular basis. It is a formula to
express only actions that happened in the past, or to
express realities that were true a while ago, but are no
longer true.
Differences from the simple past in English
The simple past in English has two main uses: one-off actions in the
past and situations or status that took place in the past.
For its part, "used to" is used to communicate repeated actions or
habits in the past and facts that were true a while ago, but are no
longer true.
How to use it

It is a simple structure, since it basically consists of adding the

infinitive of the main verb to the modal verb. Thus, when writing or
uttering affirmative phrases, the dynamic would be:

Subject + Used to + Main verb

I used to play tennis when I was a child until I discovered handball –

I played tennis as a child until I discovered handball.
To use it in a negative way, the structure is similar, but adding the
auxiliary "didn't", that is, "do" in past and in negative.

Subject + "didn't"/"did not" + Use to + Main verb

When I lived in UK, food didn't use to be really tasty – When I lived
in the UK, the food used to be very tasty.
I didn't use to like apples, but now I'm addicted to them – I didn't like
apples, but now I'm addicted to them.

" MODAL VERBS: 'USED TO'

IT IS ALSO FREQUENTLY TRANSLATED AS THE
IMPERFECT PAST TENSE OF THE INDICATIVE OF THE

La estructura de la oración para used to (solía) siempre

terminación -s. Busque esa estructura en estos ejemplos:

SOMETHING LIGHTER, LIKE YOGURT AND FRUIT. / (SOLÍA

casa de su abuela).

not use to’ (no solía) o el más común didn’t use to (no
