Unit 10: Used to and Would

NOTE: Would and used (to) have very similar meanings and can often be used in the same situations. Would is used to talk about an activity that was routine, typical behavior, and frequently repeated. Used (to) focuses on the habit, not duration or frequency.

USED TO:

Something used to happen = it happened regularly in the past, but no longer happens.

We also use used to ... for things that were true, but are not true any more.

The normal question form is did (you) use to ... ?:

Mozzeli and Warner used to have an office in Aspen, Colorado, but could not justify the expense any more.
