1. Used to
Use to + verb is a regular verb and means something that happened but doesn't happen any more.
It uses -ed to show past tense. But since it always means something that happened in the past, it should always use past tense.
For example-
I used to go to school in Paris.
When Joshua was a child, he used toclimb trees.
Remember, we always use this word when talking about the past.
So when do you use use towithout the d at the end? When the base form of the verb is used.
Look at these examples-
She didn't use to swim before noon.
Did your father use to ride a horse?
In these cases the past tense is shown with the did and didn't.
ALWAYS FOLLOWED BY INFINITIVE.
I used to sleep in my aunt´s bed when visiting her.
