use to & used to

If we say something used to happen we are talking about repeated events and actions in the past, usually things that happened a long time ago and are now finished
يعني لما نستخدم used to يبقي بنتكلم عن عادة كانت في الماضي بتتكرر كتير بس دلوقتي انتهت

.To express this we can use either used to or would.
ممكن نستخدم wouldبدل used to
example :
when i was young i used to keep a pet.

when my sister was a teen she used to wear a pocket short now she is
Veiled.

To make a question :

Did you use to..........?

EX: did you use to keep a pet?

Did your sister use to wear a pocket short?

NOTE : we cannot use Would when we ask.

How to answer:

Yes, i used to keep a pet.
NO, i did not use to keep a pet.

ANOTHER USE :

when we talk about things that have become familiar, and are no longer strange or new.

EX:
After a while you get used to wake up early .
After a week you get used to drive.
