When used to and would. USED ​​TO in English. The phrase “Used to” in negative and interrogative forms

Today we will talk about habits. In the English language, there are many grammatical structures, thanks to which we can indicate not only the time of a particular action, but also give various shades to what is said, for example, express our attitude to an event.

In this article we will talk about how we can talk about habits and express our attitude towards them using constructions Would and Used to.

Used to

Used when we talk about actions that were familiar to us in the past, but do not take place in the present. That is, we did something before, but now we have stopped. For example, if you used to smoke but quit, you could say:
— I used to smoke.
You can add that you have already quit (but I gave up this habit), but there is no need for this, since the “used to” construction already shows that the action is in the past and has nothing to do with present.

Or, for example, as a child you drank a lot of soda, but now you’ve stopped, then you can say:
— I used to drink fizzy water, when I was a child.

This construction can also be used with the verb “to be”, for example:
— He used to be a slob, but now he’s the neatest person I know. “He used to be a mess, but now he’s the neatest person I know.”

In interrogative and negative sentences, this construction is rarely used; the Past Simple is usually used, but, nevertheless, it is used from time to time.
Interrogative sentences are constructed using the auxiliary verb “did”, which is placed at the beginning of the sentence, while the verb “use” is used in the first form:

— Did you use to eat junk food? – did you have a habit of eating fatty foods (fast food)?

Negation is constructed in a similar way:
— No, I didn’t use to eat junk food. – No, I didn’t have the habit of eating fatty foods.
(fast food).

You can also sometimes find the following form of negative sentences:
— I used not to eat junk food.

Special attention should be paid to pronunciation:
“used to” is not pronounced as two separate words, they seem to merge into one, the ending “d” falls out when pronounced, it turns out that we pronounce “used to” as .

Would+V1

The construction “Would + verb in the first form” is also used when we talk about an action that was familiar to us in the past. However, the difference between these two grammatical constructions is that the second is more often used when we are nostalgic for the old days.

- When I was a child I would go to the cinema with my father every weekend - when I was little, I went to the cinema with my father every weekend.

In this sentence we emphasize that we miss those times. We can replace “Would + V1” with “Used to” if we don’t care about that nostalgia vibe. However, it is not always possible to replace “Used to” with “Would”, since the first construction is used in cases where the action occurred regularly, constantly; the second can be used when we are talking about an action that was repeated from time to time. In Russian we would use the word “happen” in such cases:
— After walking in the park my brother and I would buy a portion of ice cream, that ice-cream was the best in the World! – after a walk in the park, my brother and I used to buy a portion of ice cream, and the ice cream was the best in the world!

To be used to

This construction literally translates as “to be accustomed to something.” After it, either a noun or a verb is always used with the addition of the ending “ing”. For example:
— Don’t you want to buy a new phone?
- No, I don’t. I'm used to mine.

— Do you want to buy a new phone?
- No, I'm used to mine.

— I’m used to drinking coffee every morning. – I’m used to drinking coffee every morning.

To get used to

This construction means “to get used to something.” As in the previous case, it is followed by a noun or verb ending in “ing”. For example:

- He’s getting used to waking up so early - He gets used to waking up so early.
That is, he used to get up later, but now he has to get used to waking up early.

- I guess I can get used to using this new program - I think I can get used to using this new program.

In English, especially in colloquial speech, the phrase is often used used to. You can hear it in a conversation, in a film, on the radio, in a newspaper or in a work of art. In fact, these are three similar, but having different meanings: . And none of these options have the meaning “to use something”, like the verb to use. Let's look at these turns in more detail.

Table: used to \ be used to \ get used to – rules and examples

This table shows patterns, meanings, examples of the use of three types of sentences with used to. Read more detailed analysis below.

	Used to	Be used to	Get used to
Scheme	I used to do smth. Only in the past tense.	I am used to doing smth. I am used to smth. In past and present tense.	I get used to doing smth. I get used to smth. In the past, present, future.
Meaning	An action that took place in the past (no longer occurs). A habitual action that has been repeated in the past.	Have a habit of something.	Get into the habit of something.
Example	I used to read more in my childhood. I read more as a child.	I'm used to living in New York. I'm used to life in New York. I'm used to New York. I'm used to New York.	I got used to working out. I'm used to playing sports. You'll get used to this place. You'll get used to this place.

Used to – action in the past

Offers with used to are built according to the following scheme: I used to do something.

Where instead I there can be any other subject: he, she, they, Boris, my friend, etc., but instead to do– any action expressed in the initial form, including instead to do verb can be used to be(be). Revolution is used only in the past tense.

Turnover used to used in two cases.

1. The action took place some time in the past, but is no longer happening now.

Please note that the time period is not precisely outlined (earlier, when I was young, years ago, etc.)

Examples:

I used to smoke a lot but now I don’t. - I do a lot smoked, but now I don’t smoke.

Martin used to gamble when he was younger. – Martin played into gambling when I was younger.

Smoking a lot is an action that occurred a long time in the past, and the period of time is not specifically delineated. Now this action no longer occurs (“now I don’t smoke”).

Gambling is also an action belonging to the past. The time period has blurred boundaries (“when he was younger”). In this example, it is not directly stated that Martin no longer plays, but this is clear to the interlocutor without further clarification, because this implies the turnover itself used to.

A very common pattern used is I used to be, that is, the verb “to be” is used as a verb in this scheme.

You used to be smarter. -You were smarter.

There used to be a farm here but now there is a mall. “There used to be a farm here, and now there’s a shopping center here.”

I used to be an adventurer like you then I took an arrow in the knee. “I was also an adventurer like you, but then I was wounded in the knee by an arrow.”

2. The action in the past was ordinary, repeated

In my childhood I used to read fairy tales. – As a child, I read fairy tales.

This means: I used to, had the habit of reading fairy tales, read them from time to time.

When Elvis sang, he used to take off his scarf and give it to girls in the audience. – When Elvis sang, he took off his scarf and gave it to the girls in the audience.

What I mean is that Elvis had this habit, he did this often.

Please note that in this case you can use not only used to, but also a verb. The form is also sometimes used in this meaning, but this option is less common.

In my childhood I used to read fairy tales = In my childhood I would read fairy tales.

When Elvis sang, he used to take off his scarf and give it to girls in the audience = When Elvis sang, he would take off his scarf and give it to girls in the audience.

Turnover be used to – have a habit

Sentences with this turnover are constructed according to the following schemes: I am used to do something or I am used to something.

Instead of I any other subject can be used. Instead of doing– verb with ending -ing. Not only a verb can act as a verb, but also or.

Turnover be used to Means have a habit of something. Unlike used to do something, this phrase can be used in the past and present tense.

Examples with verb object:

I am used to reading only the English Wikipedia, although my native language is Russian. - I used to it read only English-language Wikipedia, although my native language is Russian.

My friend was used to living in a small town. - My friend used to it live in a small town.

Examples with a noun and pronoun object:

That job is ok for me, I 'm used to hard work. - This job will suit me, I used to it to hard work.

I don't want to move, I 'm used to my apartment. - I don’t want to move, I used to it to your apartment.

I 'm used to it. - I used to it to that.

Verb get used to – to get used to something

Offers with turnover get used to are constructed with a verb, noun or pronoun as an object, mainly in the past and future tenses. Has the meaning: acquire a habit. Don't have a habit like be used to, namely, to acquire.

That's what we eat for dinner. Get used to it. - This is what we eat for lunch. Get used to it.

I got used to living in Canada in spite of the cold weather. - I used to it live in Canada despite the cold weather.

He doesn’t like his new job but he will get used to it. – He doesn’t like his new job, but he’s into it. will get used to it.

Interrogative and negative forms

Interrogative and negative forms of sentences with used to, be used to, get used to are built according to the following schemes:

	Used to	Be used to	Get used to
Statement	I used to sleep a lot	I'm used to working hard	I got used to my new job
Negation	I didn't use to sleep a lot	I'm not used to working hard	I didn't get used to my new job
Question	Did I use to sleep a lot?	Am I used to working hard?	Did I get used to my new job?

I also note that questions with used to are rarely asked. As a rule, a question can be built, for example, in or, and the answer sounds already with used to.

Let's imagine the situation. John and Mark started talking about tennis. It turned out that Mark is well versed in the topic. Naturally, John assumed that Mark was interested in tennis.

John: Do you play tennis? - Do you play tennis?

Mark: I used to. But then I had an injury. – Played (before). But then I got injured.

It would be strange if John asked this question: Did you use to play tennis? He assumed that Mark plays tennis, but I didn’t play once, and then stopped.

Do you remember your childhood? Or your past habits that you got rid of long ago? When we talk about things that happened in the past but no longer happen in the present, the English language uses several useful expressions. Today we will look at when expressions such as be used to and get used to are used and what the difference between these expressions is. Let's also look at the use of would in English. In English speech, they occur frequently. Let's take a closer look at how and where to use them.

Use of the expression Used to + infinitive and education

Let's look at when to use the used to construction in English.

1. Past habits or Repeated actions in the past

This expression is used for past habits that occurred repeatedly in the past, but no longer occur. And into Russian, we translate in the past tense.

Examples:

—They used to go for a long walks – Previously, they went for long walks.
— My brother used to play chess every day, but now he doesn’t play very often – My brother played chess every day, but now he doesn’t play so often.
- When I was a child, I used to walk home alone because my dad didn’t pick me up from school – When I was a child, I walked home alone because my father didn’t pick me up from school.

2. Situations or states that are no longer true

We use the used to expression with non-action verbs () such as have, be etc. for past states that were true in the past but are no longer true.

Examples:

— My dad used to have a beard - My dad used to have a beard.
— We used to live in a small house in the country - We used to live in a small house in the country.
—I used to listen to Rock but now I hate it – I used to listen to rock, but now I hate it.
— My daughter used to be very shy when she was a little girl – My daughter was very shy when she was a baby.
—I used to be shortish when I was a teenager - I was short when I was a teenager.

Take note:

In statements, the used to form does not change. We do not use the verb to be before the form. It always refers to the past tense:

— Our grandmother used to visit us on Sundays, but now she visits us on Fridays – Our grandmother visited us on Sundays, but now she visits us on Fridays.

As you can see in the example, we do not use the verb to be before the construction.

Note: Grandmother is used to visit…. or Grandmother was used to visit…

3. Used to rule in interrogative and negative sentences

To form a negative question, we use the auxiliary verb do (in the past form did) and the negative particle not. Or the reduction didn’t.

Let's look at an example:

—I didn't use to wear glasses but I do now - I didn’t wear glasses before, but now I do.

Be careful that in negation we do not write the final letter -d into the used to expression.

In the official style, the form used not to is used.

- No used not to live in the village.

To construct a question (general question), the auxiliary verb Did must be placed in first place:

— Did he use to wear glasses? – Did he wear glasses before?

We answer this question: Yes, he did. Or No, he didn’t.

You can also use the word Never for negatives:

—They never used to argue- They never argued.

Watch the video in which journalists ask passersby what they did and what their habits were.

Use of Past Simple Used to

Perhaps many people get confused when they start studying this topic. In this section, we will look at the difference between used to and .

— I had a salad for supper yesterday. (Not: I used to have)

The phrase Used to in English is used for past actions. For real actions, we should use normally or usually with the words:

— We usually wake up very early – We usually wake up very early.

Difference between Be get used to and Be used to

These expressions can lead you astray, since they are similar in structure. But we tried to explain this rule in simple words.

The expression To Be used to do something

This expression means ‘be accustomed to’ or ‘be familiar with’ - to get used to. For example, you have been doing something new for some time, but that something new or difficult is no longer new to you, you have become accustomed to it. This expression can refer to the present, past or future tense, you just need to change the verb to be.

Examples:

— I work with children, so I am used to it – I work with children, so I'm used to it.
— The noise was thunderous. But the driver was used to it – The noise was deafening. But the driver is used to it.
— He’s been living in England for twenty years but he’ s still not used to driving on the left – He has lived in England for twenty years, but is still not used to driving on the left.
— We aren't used to living in tropical climates – We are not used to living in hot climates.
— She is used to watching films on PC – She is used to watching films on the computer.

Get used to doing expression

The Get used to something rule is the process of getting used to something. That is, when you get a new job or move to live in another country or city, you will get used to the new atmosphere.

Examples:

— School is very different from kindergarten but you will get used to it – School is very different from kindergarten, but you will get used to it.
- She will have to get used to cooking soup without chicken if she wants to be a vegetarian. She will have to get used to making soup without chicken if she wants to be a vegetarian.
— We got used to living together – We are used to living together.
— Carmen got used to sleeping in the mornings – Carmen is used to sleeping in the morning.

Note!

The past form used to is always followed by an infinitive. To is part of the infinitive.

—When I was 15 I used to smoke 15 cigarettes a day – When I was 15, I smoked 15 cigarettes a day.

After the expressions be/get used to comes a noun or -ing form. To it is a preposition, not part of an infinitive. Therefore, when followed by a verb, it must have an -ing ending.

-I' m not used to this hot weather – I'm not used to such hot weather.
-I'm sure you' ll get used to living with Lucy – I'm sure you'll get used to living with Lucy.

Used to make a difference

When we talk about past habits, the phrase used to immediately comes to mind. But also in such cases we can consider using would. Let's see when it's used Would in English.
Design Would used for repeated actions in the past.

Sentences with would:

—When I was a kid my mother would prepare wonderful meals – When I was a child, my mother prepared wonderful meals.
— My brother would come into my room every morning, and he would often talk for a while about his ex-wife - My brother came to my room every morning and often talked about his ex-wife.
— My father would make me porridge for breakfast when I was a baby – My father made me porridge for breakfast when I was a baby.
—When I lived in Thailand, I would eat fruits for breakfast – When I lived in Thailand, I ate fruits for breakfast.

In these sentences would can be replaced with used to.

But remember that the difference between would and used to is that we don't use would with states.
We can say I used to live in the country, BUT we cannot say I would live in the country.

Would transcription and pronunciation

In the word would we never pronounce the ‘L’ sound.

Listen to how the verb would is pronounced

It's very important to relax for a few minutes, so watch another video that will cheer you up =)

To add variety to your speech, as Tim said, you can use would and .

Was going to

In the article ‘To be going to’ we mentioned this form, but we suggest once again refreshing your memory, this expression refers to the past tense. Was going to expresses actions that someone intended to do but did not do.

Example:

—I was going to pay for the food and drink, but I realized that I forgot my money at home - I was going to pay for the food and drinks, but I realized that I forgot my money at home.
—William was going to move to Russia but then he decided to stay in Bali – William was going to move to Russia, but then he decided to stay in Bali.

Bonus rule

In negative and interrogative sentences, as you already know, we do not use the final ‘d’ sound didn't use to, but many native speakers still allow themselves to use the letter ‘d’ at the end of a phrase. But remember that this is not true.

Emphatic did – gain

In English, to emphasize something, that is, to strengthen your sentence, you can use the auxiliary verb did together with the construction used to.

— I used to hate Brenda, but I did used to say hello to her – I hated Brenda, but I always said hello to her. (Do not use this form in written exams.)

Tags – dividing question

Usually after the expression used to you can use a separating question with the auxiliary verb did:

— She used to be your girlfriend, did she? – She was your girlfriend, wasn't she?

The expressions used to and would already show that the action was performed in the past. Typically, as a rule of grammar, adverbs are not used with these expressions, but if you want to emphasize a period of time, you can add an adverb:

— My sister Kathy would go for a walk every day, but now she doesn’t have enough time - My sister Katie used to go for a walk every day, but now she doesn’t have enough time.

* By the way, do you know how to say “unaccustomed to something” in English?

- Be unused to something - out of habit, to be unaccustomed to something.

Examples:

—Barbara was totally unused to adult company – Barbara is completely unaccustomed to adult company.

For those learning English, it can be difficult to master the “used to, be/get used to” rule. Many people simply confuse similar-sounding designs. To use these phrases correctly, you need to understand what they mean.

Past habits

Expression usedto denotes actions that often happened in the past, but are no longer happening. Usually the construction is translated as “before”, “once upon a time”.

I used to go for a walk every morning. Unfortunately,Ihavenotimenow. - I used to go for a walk every morning. Unfortunately, I don't have time for this now.

He used to be a shop-assistant. Nowisamillionaire. - He was once a salesman, but now he is a millionaire.

In this case we are only talking about past habits, so the verb cannot be used in the present tense. In other words, you cannot say “use to”. The rules of use require the verb to be placed in the Past Simple. If you need to talk about habits that exist at the moment, use the Present Simple.

I used to eat bananas for breakfast. - EarlierIateonbreakfastbananas.

Iusuallyeatbananasforbreakfast. - I usually eat bananas for breakfast.

Please note: after the particle to is always used as an infinitive. Other forms of the verb are not allowed here.

My sister used to be a naughty child. - Mysisterwasnaughtychild.

Let's continue to look at the rule. Usedto used not only in affirmative sentences. We can safely construct a negative or interrogative sentence.

In the question, the first place is given did, followed by subject and use to. The past tense is taken over by the auxiliary verb, so the initial form should be used useto.

Didsheusetowakeupearlywhenshewenttoschool? - Did she have a habit of getting up early when she went to school?

Did they use to spend vacation together? - EarlierTheycarried outtogethervacation?

In negative sentences, a particle is added to the auxiliary verb not, A useto also placed in the initial form.

I didn’t use to smoke when I was a schoolboy. - INotsmoked, WhenwalkedVschool.

Shedidn'ttusetoplaygolf. - She hasn't played golf before.

Used to or would?

When it comes to old habits, Sometimes they use another expression - would.

Kate would go to a swimming pool once a week. - EarlierKatewentVpoolonceVa week.

Remember an important rule: usedto can indicate both an action and a state.

Action: Myparentsdidn'ttusetogotoagym. - My parents never went to the gym before.

State: John didn'tusetoloveRockmusic. - John once didn’t like rock music.

Would only indicates a repeated action in the past. It is not used to describe a condition.

My friend used to go shopping every weekend. Myfriendwouldgoshoppingeveryweekend. - My friend used to go shopping every weekend.

But you can't say: John would love Rock music. In this sentence you should use usedto.

Would can also describe actions that occurred from time to time (often with an element of nostalgia). A good translation in this case is the word “happened.”

InmychildhoodIwouldgoforapicnicalmosteveryweekend. - As a child, I used to go on a picnic almost every weekend.

If you do not specify the frequency of the action, use usedto, not would.

Whenhewasachildheusedtowakeuplate. - He woke up late when he was a child (general situation, regularity not specified).

Whenhewasachildhewouldwakeuplateatweekends. - When he was a child, he would wake up late on the weekends (how often the action was performed).

Have a habit of doing something

Let's look at one more rule. Used to often confused with to be used to. However, they have completely different meanings. Expression tobeusedto means “to have the habit of doing something”, and it can be replaced by a synonymous construction tobeaccustomedto. Previously, a person did not do this, but now his lifestyle has changed.

Heisusedtogettingupat 9am. - He is used to getting up at 9 am (he didn’t do that before).

Since we are talking about a habit that a person has at the moment, the verb tobe It’s logical to put it in the present tense. For past habits, use an expression we are already familiar with usedto/didn"t use to. Compare:

My brother didn't use to eat healthy food. - MyBrotherearlierNotateusefulfood.

Now he is used to eating healthy food. - NowHeused to itThere isusefulfood.

Don't forget to put the particle to- there is no expression useddoing. The rule also requires the use of a gerund rather than an infinitive.

Jesse is used to making his bed in the morning. - Jesseused to itcoverbedByin the morning.

I am used to go to school on my foot. - II'm used to itwalkVschoolon foot.

Get used to something

Phrase togetusedto very close in value to the previous design. But there is a certain connotation of meaning - “get used to”, “get used to”, “adapt”. In this case, the synonymous construction will be tobecomeaccustomedto.

It is difficult to get used to a new climate. - TOnewclimatedifficultadapt.

Here we are talking about a habit that is just beginning to form.

He is getting used to doing the laundry twice a week. - Heaccustomsmyselfwashclothestwicebehinda week.

After the particle to a gerund should also be included.

TheyaregettingusedtospeakingChinese - They get used to speaking Chinese.

In what grammatical tense should I put getusedto? The rule allows you to use any tense that makes sense.

Ittookhersometimetogetusedtonewtraditions. - It took some time before she got used to the new traditions.

In a few weeks you will get used to the local cuisine. - Througha coupleweeksYouyou'll get used to itTolocalkitchen.

Exercises

We have analyzed the use in detail usedto/beusedto/getusedto. The rule separates these constructions in meaning and grammatically. Practice using them in practice. Insert suitable words into the text. Remember to choose the right time.

2. I see you -_ new rules. Keep it up! - I see you are getting used to the new rules. Keep it up!

12. We _ ​​be friends. Then something went wrong. - We were friends. But then something went wrong.

Today we will look at two past tense constructions used to denote actions that we did before, but then stopped (for no reason): Used to/Would. Sometimes both of these constructions have the right to be used in a particular situation, but each of them has a clear purpose and rules of use. Let's start with examples.

Used to

• "I used to live in Manchester, but I moved to London last year."— I used to live in Manchester, but last year I moved to London.
• "When he was at school, he used to eat lots of junk food"— As a schoolboy (when he was at school), he ate a huge amount of fast food.

Both of these examples are about completed actions (events) that occur in the past and do not take place in the present.

So: 'used to' — actions,which have been going on for some time in the past(not for momentary events) and do not occur in the present.

One of the meanings of the construction ‘used to’ is to have a habit. In this case, a habit in the past (he is used to living in Manester or eating fast food). This construction is also used for states in the past with a verb to be:

• he used to be very shy, but now he´s the most easy’-going person I know. — Earlier he was very shy, but now he is the most open person I know.

Would.

The design is like this Would+V1

Example:

• "Every morning we would leap out of bed, run down to the beach.- Every morning we jumped out of bed and ran to the beach.
• After dinner we all would sit in the drawing room and chat.— After dinner we used to sit in the living room and chat.

THAT. Would used for repeated actions in the past that took place again and again. And in memories with a touch of nostalgia for the past, which I would so much like to return. This “happened” is what gives it that very shade.

When I didn’t have my own blog yet, I used to have such a wonderful time painting my nails for two hours, drinking tea or knitting. And now, here we have to work...

Enjoy your memories!
