Difference between “Use to” and “Used to”?
There is some confusion about how to use the words use to and used to.One reason for the confusion is that it is sometimes used as a verb, and sometimes used as an adjective. The other reason is because it seems like the tense changes. It's really quite simple when you look at it. Used To as an Adjective The most common mix-up between used to and use to occurs when describing the feeling of being accustomed to something, or “used to” it. Here are some examples of used to as an adjective. Notice that each of these sentences also includes a form of the helping verb to be (is, wasn’t, are).
The students are use to staying inside when it’s raining. (Incorrect) The students are used to staying inside when it’s raining. (Correct)
Used To as a Verb Both used to and use to are commonly used as modal verbs, which are a type of helping verb that establishes a sentence’s mood. They both combine with an infinitive (to + verb) to explain that an action no longer happens. Some used to examples include:
She used to swim every morning. Henry used to want to be a firefighter.
Use To as a Verb Did you used to or use to ride your bike to school? The only correct time to write use to is when you also use the words did or didn’t. These sentences are meant to clarify past behavior. Some examples of correct uses of use to include:
Did you use to go to Jefferson High School? Didn’t your dad use to play bass guitar?
