Used To Grammar Practice

Ruben, Keira and Freya are helping prepare a class reflection after a marae visit. Use used to to describe past habits or states that have changed. After did or didn’t, use the base form use to.

Notice the grammar

Used to + base verb describes a past habit or state that is no longer true. Example: Keira used to feel nervous speaking in a group. To make a negative, place didn’t before the base form of use to; to ask a question, begin with Did and use the base form.

1.Which sentence describes a repeated past habit that has changed?
  • Ruben helped with the chairs yesterday.
  • Ruben used to help set out the chairs every visit.
  • Ruben is helping with the chairs now.
2.Choose the grammatically correct negative: “Freya ______ enjoy speaking in front of a group, but now she does.”
  • didn’t used to
  • didn’t use to
  • doesn’t used to
3.Choose the correct question about Ruben’s past routine.
  • Did Ruben used to help welcome visitors?
  • Did Ruben use to help welcome visitors?

  • Freya used to asking lots of questions.

Read each prompt carefully. Keep the meaning, and use the correct verb form with the past-habit expression, its negative form, or its question form.

5.Complete the sentence with the correct form: “Before the visit, Freya (think) public speaking was difficult; now she enjoys it.”
6.Complete the question using the correct form: “ Keira (help) prepare the shared meal when she was younger?”
7.Rewrite the sentence to show a past habit that has stopped: “Ruben walked with his cousins to community events every month.”
8.Correct the grammar in this sentence: “Did Freya used to feel nervous at the start of a visit?”
9.Explain the difference in meaning: “Keira used to help welcome visitors” and “Keira helped welcome visitors yesterday.”
