How to use "used to" in English

  
We use 'used to' for something that happened regularly in the past but no longer happens.

For example: 
I used to smoke a packet a day but I stopped two years ago.
Ben used to travel a lot in his job but now, since his promotion, he doesn't.
I used to drive to work but now I take the bus.

We also use it for something that was true but  no longer is. For example: 
There used to be a cinema in the town but now there isn't.
She used to have really long hair but she's had it all cut off.
I didn't use to like him but now I do.

 
Let's practice:

Organize the sentences. Please, use all the words and punctuation marks. Be careful with spelling when you write your
answer.

1. to/cinema/a/there/used/be/here/.   There used to be a cinema here. 

2. he/hair/to/used/long/have/.   He used to have long hair. 

3. lot/i/eat/food/to/used/a/of/fast/.  I used to eat a lot of fast food. 

4. smoke/20/she/to/day/a/used/.  She used to smoke 20 a day. 

5. be/it/to/expensive/used/very/.  It used to be very expensive. 
