Used to - Grammar Chart

Used to + infinitive

Repeated actions in the past

We can use used to + infinitive to talk about past habits or things that we did repeatedly in the past.

Situations or states that are no longer true

We can use used to + infinitive to talk about situations or states (stative verbs) which were true in the past, but they are no longer true.

Used to, didn't use to, did you use to

The negative form of used to + infinitive is didn't use to..., and we make questions with did you use to ...

I usually do (NOT I use to do)

Used to only has a past form. If we want to talk about present habits or things that we do repeatedly in the present, we should use usually, normally, often with present simple.

Be used to

If you are used to something or to doing something, you are accustomed to it. Maybe it's something that is new, strange or difficult, but you have done it for some time and now you don't find it new, strange or difficult any more. Be used to is a state, so it is never used in continuous forms. It's normally used in simple tenses.

Get used to

If you get used to something or to doing something, you become accustomed to something. Get used to something is the process of becoming used to something.

Used to + infinitive, be/get used to + -ing

The past verb used to is always followed by infinitive. The word to is part of the infinitive.

After be used to, or get used to, we use a noun or a - ing verb. The word to is a preposition, not part of an infinitive. That is why when a verb follows, it must take the - ing form.

We use the past perfect simple to talk about an earlier past: events which happened before the main event.

Earlier single events

We use the past perfect simple to talk about earlier events and experiences, or single actions completed earlier in the past.

We use the past perfect simple (and not continuous) to say how much or how many we had done of something earlier in the past.

Duration from earlier in the past (stative verbs)

We use the past perfect simple with stative verbs to talk about states or situations that had started earlier in the past. We often use how long, for or since, always, etc.

We use the past perfect continuous with dynamic verbs to talk about l onger continuous actions that started earlier in the past than the main events of the story.
