USUALLY & USED TO.

Usually

de English Grammar Today

The adverb usually refers to what typically or normally happens. We use it mostly in mid position, between the subject and the main verb, or after the modal verb or first auxiliary verb, or after be as a main verb:

Children usually enjoy visits to the zoo.

Not: Children enjoy usually visits …

I usually get up around eight o’clock.

You can usually buy tickets for rock concerts on the Internet.

Are you usually in your office on Thursdays?

Warning:

Usually does not mean the same as used to or be used to. Usually refers to what typically or normally happens. Used to refers to things which were true in the past but not now. Be used to means ‘be accustomed to’ or ‘be familiar with’:

We usually watch the news on TV before we go to bed.

Not: We used to watch the news … or We’re used to watching the news … or We use to watch the news …

We can also use the verb tend to talk about what usually happens:

We tend to watch the news on TV before we go to bed.

We say as usual, not as usually, to talk about something which happens in the normal or typical way:

We shall meet again as usual at 5 pm next Tuesday.

Not: We shall meet again as usually at …

 

Typical errors

• Take care to spell usually with ll.
• Don’t confuse usually and used to. Usually refers to what normally happens; used to refers to things which were true in the past but are no longer true:

I usually play football on Wednesday evenings, so Thursday would be better for me to go out for a meal.

Not: I used to play football …

 

USED TO.from www.englishpage.com

FORM

[used to + VERB]

Example:

• I used to go to the beach every day.

It is better not to use "used to" in questions or negative forms; however, this is sometimes done in informal spoken English. It is better to ask questions and create negative sentences using Simple Past.

USE 1 Habit in the Past

"Used to" expresses the idea that something was an old habit that stopped in the past. It indicates that something was often repeated in the past, but it is not usually done now.

Examples:

• Jerry used to study English.
• Sam and Mary used to go to Mexico in the summer.
• I used to start work at 9 o'clock.
• Christine used to eat meat, but now she is a vegetarian.

USE 2 Past Facts and Generalizations

"Used to" can also be used to talk about past facts or generalizations which are no longer true.

Examples:

• I used to live in Paris.
• Sarah used to be fat, but now she is thin.
• George used to be the best student in class, but now Lena is the best.
• Oranges used to cost very little in Florida, but now they are quite expensive.

"Used to" vs. Simple Past

Both Simple Past and "Used to" can be used to describe past habits, past facts and past generalizations; however, "used to" is preferred when emphasizing these forms of past repetition in positive sentences. On the other hand, when asking questions or making negative sentences, Simple Past is preferred.

Examples:

• You used to play the piano.
• Did you play the piano when you were young?
• You did not play the piano when you were young.
