OBJECTIVES

Expressing Personal Experiences

Understanding the Concept

Students will be able to understand and explain the grammar structure, including its use to talk about past habits and states that are no longer true in the present.

Students will be able to effectively use "USED TO" to describe past habits and changes in their own lives and the lives of others.

Students will develop the ability to share personal experiences using the correct forms of "used to," "would", "be used to," and "get used to," enabling them to communicate effectively about past routines, familiarity, and the process of becoming accustomed to new situations.

Forming Correct Sentences

Students will be able to correctly form the structure in affirmative, negative, and interrogative sentences.

DEFINITION

Used to is a verb that indicates a past habit, repeated action, state, or fact that is no longer the case.

Used to functions similarly to a modal verb, meaning that it modifies the main verb of a clause.

WOULD

When I was a student, we would often have a drink after class on a Friday.
When I lived in Italy, we would go to a little restaurant near our house.

We can also use "would + base form" to talk about a habit or repeated action in the past. We usually use this way when we're telling a story about the past. So, we can say:

However, we don't use "would + base form" to talk about states in the past. So, if we're talking about the past, we CAN'T say:

I would have long hair.
I would live in Scotland.

+ Info

To say you are accustomed to something, and so it seems normal or usual. If you are used to something, it is not difficult, new, or strange. In “be used to,” the verb “be” can take the present, past or future tense.
