ESL Expression of the Day: "used to"
"used to" + verb (infinitive form)
means that it was true in the past, but it's not true now.
Examples:
I used to smoke.
He used to be a teacher.
The sidewalks used to be made of wood.
This blog is mainly to explain a different English language expression every day. Sometimes I post other stuff. I also have a YouTube channel which is mostly about computer software: https://www.youtube.com/englishspacedog
