SANTIAGO SANCHEZ - USED TO VS PAST SIMPLE



In English we use both used TO and past simple when talking about events that happened in the past. However, it is easy to confuse used to with past simple.

The basic formula of the statements in the past simple is: Subject + verb in the past + complement. It is the simplest way, since all you have to do is conjugate the verb in the past tense.

affirmative subject + verb in the past + complement

negative subject +didn´t + infinitive verb + complement

question did + subject + verb in infinitive + complement

Used to  We use the modal verb used to to indicate something that happened or happened in the past in a habitual way. Also, it is used for something that used to be true but is no longer true.

affirmative used to + infinitive

negative  didn´t use to + verb 

question did  use to + verb

JOSHUA DANIEL DUARTE - PRESENT PERFECT

The present perfect is more or less equivalent to the past perfect of Spanish. We will see the differences in the section on uses. In general, it is a mix between the present and the past. We use it for actions in the past that matter in the present. The present perfect in English is formed using 'has' or 'have' and the past participle of the verb. For example, "I have watched the movie" or "She has watched the movies." 1- We have lived in this house for over twenty years. 2- She has never been to Florida. 3- I’m bored; I have seen this film a thousand times 4- You have given up hope 5- I’ve lost my keys.   6- We have spoken about this issue in numerous occasions. 7- Have you ever been to Poland?   8-I ’m not shocked, I have seen worse. 9- Have you found what you were looking for? 10- I don’t know if it will fit, I haven’t used that dress in ages.
