used to

Used to

We use 'used to' for something that happened regularly in the past but no longer happens.

• I used to smoke a packet a day but I stopped two years ago.

• Ben used to travel a lot in his job but now, since his promotion, he doesn't.

• I used to drive to work but now I take the bus.

We also use it for something that was true but  no longer is.

• There used to be a cinema in the town but now there isn't.

• She used to have really long hair but she's had it all cut off.

I didn't use to like him but now I do.
