USED TO If you talk about something that was a habit in the past, you use

the structure USED TO + INFINITIVE. For example, answer these questions, about your childhood:

1 – What programs on TV did you use to see?2 – What games did you use to play?3 – What songs and artists didi you use to like/listen to? Answer these questions starting like this: 1 – I used to see... Etc...

If you talk about a place and its changes, you say: XXX used to be (ex.less violent, quieter...)... Or XXX used to

have (few cars , many houses...)
