We use used to to talk about:

- repeated actions in the past:

I used to get up at six every morning.

- past states:

I used to live in the country.

• Used to emphasizes that these actions or states are no longer true:

I used to get up at six (but now I get up later).

I used to live in the country (but now I live in town).

• Instead of used to, we can use the Past simple tense:

I get up at six when I was at school.

• Forms of used to:

I used to didn’t use to play with dolls
Did you use to play with dolls?

Note: We can also say used not to, but this sound not formal.

• Used to only used in the past, and has no present form,=. Not the difference between:

- I used to ride a bike. (= I rode a bike earlier, but I don’t now).

- I’m used to riding a bike. (= I often do it, I accustomed to it).
