NEGATIVA : I didn’t use to play football.   
          
INTERROGATIVA:    Did you use to smoke?

You should use 'use to' without a d in sentences when it follows 'did' or 'didn't' (don't worry too much about this because lots of people get it wrong).

The question form is ‘Did you use to…?'. When asking a closed question you put did/didn't in front of the subject followed by use to, you cannot use would.


WOULD
  • Para describir repetidas acciones del pasado.
  • Hábitos y rutinas del pasado, su uso es menos frecuente
  • Para hablar de algo que soliamos hacer pero que ahora no, o que era verdad y ahora no, usar USED TO.
Every Saturday, I would go on a long bike ride.
When I was younger, I would play with my friends after the school.

No usar “would para hablar de estados: possessión, mind, being, stage of life.

She would think it was all right to sit in the sun all day. INCORRECT. state verbs
I would smoke. INCORRECT.
  • Did you use to go out with my sister?
