3. Note

   • Do not forget to remove the "d" from "used" in negative and interrogative.
   • We should not confuse used to (followed by infinitive) with get used to or be used to (followed by verb ending in -ing).
   • Used to is a past time and therefore can only be used in the past. If we want to express habits in the present, we must use frequency adverbs like "usually".
