Basics: Used To - Past Habits and States

We use "used to" to talk about habits that happened regularly in the past or states that were once true but have since changed. For example, "I used to play the piano every day" (a past habit) or "He didn't use to like broccoli" (a past state). Notice how the negative form and questions drop the 'd' with the auxiliary verb "did", as in "Did she use to live here?".

This challenge covers how to correctly structure affirmative, negative, and interrogative sentences with this grammar pattern. You will explore past habits and states through a variety of fun scenarios, ranging from everyday topics like drinking coffee, eating habits, and using smartphones to imaginative situations involving time travel, superheroes, and aliens.

You'll work through 15 questions presented in single-choice, multi-choice, drop-down, and drag-and-drop formats.
