Study Notes

Used to vs. Be Used to

Used to + base form of a verb describes a habitual past action that is no longer done.
- Example: He used to live in a mansion, but now he lives in a small apartment.
Be used to + gerund or noun describes something that has become familiar or habitual.
- Example: She is used to shopping in expensive stores, even though she is a millionaire.
Used to can also describe a past situation that was true, not just habitual.
- Example: He used to live at home until he got a job.

Would vs. Used To

Would can describe repeated actions in the past, like used to.
- Example: When I was a child, I would dream of being a millionaire.
Only used to, not would, can describe a past situation that was true, not habitual.

Was/Were Going To

Was/Were + going to + base form of a verb describes a past prediction for the future or a past plan that wasn't carried out.
- Example: I knew that company was going to be a great success.
Used for future in the past: The prediction or plan happened in the past, but the result was in the future.
