قاعدة used to

Khaled stopped smoking two years ago. He doesn't smoke any more




But he used to smoke.


He used to smoke 40 cigarettes a day.


بمعنى اعتاد على تدخين 40 سيجاره في اليوم


"He used to smoke" = he smoked regularly sometime in the past,


But he doesn't smoke now. He was a smoker,


But now he isn't.
تعني انه كان معتاد في الماضي على التدخين لكن الان لم يعد يدخن




Past = he used to smoke


Now = he doesn't smoke




"Something used to happen" = something happened regularly in the past


no longer happens:


تستخدم قاعدة used to لحدث حصل في الماضي ولم يعد يحدث الان







exsamples::


* I used to play tennis a lot but I don't play very often now.




* Sara used to travel a lot. These days she doesn't go away so often
