Used to & didn't use to

USED TO 


The expression "used to" refers to a habit that people had in the past, a longing action which is now over:
  • He used to work in Madrid.
  • When I was a child I used to watch television in the afternoons.
The negative form is "didn't use to":
  • didn't use to do much sport in the mornings.
  • When she was a teenager, she didn't use to go out at night.
And questions take "Did ______ use to______?":
  • Did you use to have long hair?
  • Did your parents use to go to the cinema at the weekend?
