¿CUÁNDO USAMOS USED TO EN INGLÉS?
Usamos used to para hablar de hábitos, estados o acciones que se repetían con frecuencia en el pasado y que ya han dejado de ocurrir. Por ejemplo:
Hábito: I used to collect trading cards when I was a child (de niña solía coleccionar cromos) (=ahora ya no lo hago)
Estado: My friends used to be crazy about the Spice Girls (mis amigas estaban locas por las Spice Girls)
Acción: My teacher used to say "sit down and shut up" (mi profesor solía decir: "siéntate y cállate).
¿CÓMO SE FORMA?
Se usa la misma forma con todas las personas.
Afirmativas
I / You / He / She / It / We / They + used to + verbo
Ej: I used to play football, he used to play football, we used to play football...Negativas
I / You / He / She / It / We / They + didn't use to + verbo
Ej: I didn't use to play football, he didn't use to play football, we didn't use to play football...Interrogativas
Did + I / You / He / She / It / We / They + use to + verbo?
Ej: Did you use to smoke? (¿Solías fumar?)
What did you use to do? (¿Qué solías hacer?) Respuestas:
Did you use to smoke? Yes, I did / No, I didn't
Did she use to watch TV at night? Yes, she did / No, she didn't
Did they use to play football? Yes, they did / No, they didn't
CUIDADO:
1. No olvidéis quitar la "d" de "used" en negativas e interrogativas.
2. No debemos confundir used to (seguido de infinitivo) con get used to o be used to (seguidos de verbo acabado en -ing).
Used to +infitivo = solía (hábitos pasados)
get used to +ing = acostumbrase a
be used to +ing = estar acostumbrado a
3. Used to es un tiempo pasado y, por tanto, sólo se puede usar en pasado. Si queremos expresar hábitos en el presente, hay que usar adverbios de frecuencia como "usually".
Ej: I usually have breakfast at 8 a.m (suelo desayunar a las 8 de la mañana)ENLACES RELACIONADOS
Get used to / be used to
adverbios de frecuencia

ReplyDeletewhen I was a child...
I used to plat in the sreet with my brothers.
I used to cry all the day.
I used to draw on the walls.
I used to eat candies.
I used to fight with my sister.
I didn´t used to go to the parties.
I didn´t used to drink tequila.
I didn´t used to have a boyfriend.
I didn´t used to study so much.
I didn´t used to do my homework.
en esto del uso de "used to" hay tantas versiones que no me entero, mi profesora me dice: used to+ING es decir "I used to driving" en pregunta "Did you used to driving in your country?" no se le quita la d a used y en negativo "I didn´t used to driving" o como dicen otras versiones "I didn't use to..." aunque lo correcto seria "I never used to.." estas son las versiones de mi profesora de Ingles aqui en Nueva zelanda, pero he visto otras muchas. ¿Cual es realmente la correcta? ¿o hay versiones diferentes del "used to" segun el pais? Thanks

ReplyDeleteHola Jose gracias por tu pregunta. used to + ing no existe en inglés. Quizas estas confundido con be used to + ing - ejemplo: I am used to driving to work (estoy acostumbrado a conducir al trabajo). Esta clase esta basada en used to + infinitivo ejemplo: I used to drive to work (solia conducir al trabajo). I didn't use to drive to work (negativo) and did you use to drive to work? (pregunta).
ReplyDeletela forma I didn't used to existe pero mucha gente yo incluido lo considera incorrecto.
Para to información la frase I used to driving es incorrecto.
Espero que esto aclara el tema.

ReplyDeleteI like this blog, it help me to understand USED TO
ReplyDeleteUna corrección. (used to) es un adjetivo y no un verbo,por lo tanto en preguntas y negaciones no cambia. ejemplo i did not used to cold.... did you used to cook. Usandolo como verbo(use) entonces si cambia. ejemplo he used my car yerterday. did he use may car yesterday? he didn't use may car yesterday.
