USED TO / USED TO

Used as an adjective. Use TO BE + USED TO This means to be accustomed to. Examples: I can study with the TV on. I am used to it.

Tim had a hard time living in Tokyo. He wasn't used to so many people.

I used to go to school in Paris. (I went to school there before, but now I don't.)

When Joshua was a child, he used to climb trees. (Now he doesn't climb trees.)

Remember, we always use this word when talking about the past. So when do you use use to without the d at the end? When the base form of the verb is used.

Examples:

In these cases the past tense is shown with the did and didn't.
