Used to
A; Used to expresses a past habit or state. I used to come here when I was a child. Before we had television, people used to make their own entertainment. I used to have a bicycle, but I sold it. The meaning is similar to would for past habits, but used to is more common in informal English. I used to come here means that at one period I came here regularly, but then I stopped.
