"Used to do something" oznacza, że zwykło się coś robić. Za pomocą tej konstrukcji gramatycznej wyraża się czynności, które regularnie miały miejsce w przeszłości, były zwyczajami czy nawykami (i już dłużej nie są aktualne).

Past Simple używamy do :

• mówienia o sytuacjach i czynnościach, które wydarzyły się i zakończyły w określonym punkcie w czasie w przeszłości;
• opisywania krótkich (przeszłych) czynności następujących jedna po drugiej;
• opisywania nawyków lub zwyczajów z przeszłości.
