ملخص الدرس / الثالثة متوسط/اللغة الإنجليزية/File 2/ the semi modal « used to »

⇒ To talk about repeated actions/ activities or events that happened in the past but are no longer true in the present, I can use the semi-model verb "used to + v".

          eg: We used to take a bath once a week. (= but today this is no longer true).

"used to" (forms) 

_ Interrogative form: "Did + S + use + to + rest of the sentence?.

                     eg: Did you use to play games, grandma?

_ Negative form: "didn't (in short answers).

                             "did not/ didn't + use + to + V" (in long answers).

                     eg: No, I didn't. I didn't use to play games at that time.

_ Affirmative form: did (in short answers) / "used to" + V (in long answers).

                     eg: Yes, I did. I used to play a lot of games in my childhood.

 

 SPECIAL DIFFICULTY:  

≥ When I ask a guestion with "who", I say: "Who + used to + V +....?"

                     eg: Who used to be your math teacher at primary school?
