OBJECTIVE:
STUDENTS WILL BE ABLE TO IDENTIFY THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN
USED TO AND USUALLY (PRESENT – PAST)
USED TO AND USUALLY

 Used to refers to things which were true in the past but not now.
Be used to means 'be accustomed to' or 'be familiar with': We usually watch the
news on TV before we go to bed.

 Used to always refers to the past tense. It can’t be used to describe the

present or future.

 Used to drops a “d” in the negative:

I didn’t used to wear equipment, just my swim trunks and a smile.
- In the question form, use did. The “d” is also dropped in question forms.
Did you used to do dangerous things when you were young?
Yes, I did. I used to do lots of dangerous things!

 Used to is always followed by a verb in the base form. In the examples,

we have used to wear, used to jump, and used to do.

Usually

 Usually refers to a repeated action in the present. It is an adverb, so it

must modify a verb. The verb should be simple present, so
use wear or wears in the affirmative, depending on the subject.

 The placement of usually is flexible. In general, it goes before the main

verb in a sentence, unless the main verb is the verb to be. In that case,
it goes after the be verb. Let’s see an example.
I usually look before I leap. I am usually more careful.

 In the negative, use don’t or doesn’t with usually and a base form verb.
He doesn’t usually do dangerous things.
 In questions, use Do or Does depending on the subject.
Do you usually wear swim gear these days? He does, but I don’t.
 When you have a strong understanding of how to use used
to and usually, we can talk about 2 more similar phrases that students
find confusing: be used to and get used to.
