    I used to eat shrimps in seafood restaurants, but now it's impossible, because those places are very expensive.

    Pero si de tomarlas de otro lugar se trata...

    Use 1. Habit in the past

    •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.

    ACTIVE / PASSIVE

    Examples:

    •Jerry used to pay the bills. Active

    •The bills used to be paid by Jerry. Passive

    It used to be easy to find a job, but now it's hard.

    Banks used to charge less money in fees, now they don't.

    There used to be less delinquency, but now there is a lot of delinquency.
