<p>The important thing to remember about the &ldquo;<strong>used to + infinitive</strong>&rdquo; form is that we&nbsp;<strong>ONLY</strong>&nbsp;use it to talk about the past, namely past habits and states.</p> <p>These were things that we did regularly in the past, but&nbsp;<strong>NO LONGER</strong>&nbsp;do in the present. If you still do something in the present, this form&nbsp;<strong>CAN&rsquo;T</strong>&nbsp;be used.</p> <p><em>When I was a child, I used to play outside in the street</em>&nbsp;(I don&rsquo;t do this anymore in the present).</p> <p><em>She used to smoke</em>&nbsp;(she doesn&rsquo;t smoke in the present).</p> <p><a href="https://medium.com/@marybrillar/english-grammar-used-to-be-used-to-get-used-to-b17ea84bcbb9"><strong>Read More</strong></a></p>
