Used to
Used to: meaning
Used to
Used to: meaning and form
We use used to when we refer to things in the past which are no longer true. It can refer to repeated actions or to a state or situation:
He used to play football for the local team, but he's too old now.
That white house over there used to belong to my family. (It belonged to my family in the past, but not anymore.)
Warning:
In statements, the form used to, does not change. We do not use the verb be before it. It always refers to past time:
We used to go to the seaside every summer when I was a kid.
Not: We are used to go or We use to go or We were used to go
Negative: didn't use to
The negative of used to is most commonly didn't use(d) to. Sometimes we write it with a final -d, sometimes not. Both forms are common, but many people consider the form with the final -d to be incorrect, and you should not use it in exams:
It didn't use to be so crowded in the shops as it is nowadays.
I didn't used to like broccoli when I was younger, but I love it now. (Don't use this form in exams.)
In very formal styles, we can use the negative form used not to:
She used not to live as poorly as she does now.
Questions
The most common form of question is auxiliary did + use(d) to. Many people consider the form with a final -d to be incorrect, and you should not use it in exams:
I think we met once, a couple of years ago. Did you use to work with Kevin Harris?
Didn't she used to live in the same street as us? (Don't use this form in written exams.)
Emphatic did
We can use the emphatic auxiliary did with used to:
We never used to mix very much with the neighbors, but we did used to say hello to them in the street. (Don't use this form in written exams.)
مصدر + Used to
ما از این عبارت برای گفتگو در مورد عادت ها یا اعمال پرتکرار در گذشته که در زمان حال انجام نمی دهیم استفاده می کنیم. همچنین از آن برای صحبت کردن در مورد وضعیتی که در گذشته صادق بوده استفاده می کنیم. مثال:
I used to have long hair (but now I have short hair).
He used to smoke (but now he doesn't smoke).
They used to live in India (but now they live in Germany). (مراقب باشید! در حالت منفی و سؤالی به جای used باید از use استفاده کنید:
Did you use to be a teacher?
Did he use to study French?
She didn't use to like chocolate, but she does now.
I didn't use to want to have a nice house.
توجه داشته باشید! فعل be با used toاستفاده نمی شود. نمی توانیم بگوییم: I am used to have long hair
