Talk about past habits that have endedتحدّث عن عادات قديمة انتهت

The idea, simply

Use used to + the base verb for a past habit or state that has changed: I used to smoke. In negatives and questions the d is dropped because did carries the past: I did not use to like coffee. Did you use to live here? Do not use used to for something that happened only once.

Examples

• I used to play football every Friday.

• She used to work in a bank.

• I did not use to drink coffee.
