"Used to + infinitive":

Folosim această construcție pentru a vorbi despre obișnuințe și acțiuni repetate în trecut, care nu mai au loc în prezent. De asemenea, folosim această construcție pentru a exprima stări din trecut care nu mai sunt valabile în prezent.

Exemple:

• I used to have short hair (but now I have long hair).
• He used to cook for dinner (but now he doesn't cook any longer).
• They used to camp in the mountains (but now they camp at the seaside).

Atenție! Enunțurile negative și interogative nu folosesc „used to”, ci „use to” ca în exemplele de mai jos:

• Did you use to be nice to your friends?
• Did they use to go to the pool?
• I didn't use to like coffee, but I do now.
• She didn't use to make cakes, but she does now.
