Used to

We use “used to” for something that happened regularly in the past but no longer happens.

• I used to smoke a packet a day but I stopped two years ago.

• Ben used to travel a lot in his job but now, since his promotion, he doesn't.

• There used to be a cinema in the town but now there isn't.

• She used to have really long hair but she's had it all cut off.
