- USED TO + infinitivo lo usamos para expresar hábitos del pasado,cosas que solíamos hacer en el pasado y que generalmente no las hacemos más en el presente. Por lo tanto decimos así:
- I used to play in the street as a child. (Jugaba en la calle cuando era chico.)
- She used to wear glasses. (Ella usaba anteojos.)
Importante!: Used to sólo lo usamos para hábitos del pasado, acordate que para hábitos en el presente usamos el presente simple.
