Used to
Used to употребляется для описания событий, которые регулярно происходили в прошлом, но не происходят в настоящее время:
He used to go to the office by car but now he doesn’t. He uses public transport.
(Раньше он ездил на работу на машине, но теперь он этого не делает. Он пользуется общественным транспортом ).
She didn’t use to go to the gym but now she goes there every week. (Раньше она не ходила в спортивный зал, а теперь ходит туда каждую неделю).
Запомните!
Used to употребляется только в прошедшем времени. Когда мы говорим о событиях, регулярно происходящих в настоящем времени, мы используем время Present Simple (простое настоящее время) с такими словами, как usually, every day (week, year) etc.:
We usually come to our classes on time. (Мы обычно приходим на занятия вовремя).
I take my dog for a walk every day. (Я выгуливаю свою собаку каждый
день).
