Introduction
BLOCK I, Comparing habits and customs from “different societies”, will give you the opportunity
to know the various habits and customs people have in several societies and in your own
community. You will have the chance to improve your English using a particular grammatical
structure called used to which describes situations that happened regularly in the past, but no
longer happens in the present.
What is the purpose of block I?

In block I you will learn to identify the main idea from a written and oral text related to habits and
customs. You will also have the opportunity to identify some expressions that you can use when
you want to speak about events that happened in the past. Moreover, you will be able to describe
and compare habits and customs in your own community. Finally, you will use the grammatical
structure “used to” to describe habits and customs from some societies in the past.
Learning objective.

sports.
2. Grammar: used to Vs Be used to; in affirmative, negative and interrogative form.

Food, cooking and eating habits play an important role in every culture. The way of preparation and the
ways of serving and eating it can vary from culture to culture and they often reveal distinctions of age,
sex, status, culture and even occupation. In some communities eating together is very important;
sometimes it is an expression of the unity in the family.

Learn more: “Used to”

Customs and habits are not always the same in all the communities. In some societies they
change faster than in other.
When you want to express that an activity was a past habit, we use USED TO. It means that it
occurred in the past but not anymore, we only use it to talk about the past; there is no similar
expression for the present.
Examples:
My grandmother used to make her own soap, but now she buys it in the store. In the past my
father smoked, but he doesn’t now. (He used to smoke).
After used to we always use the infinitive. Never use a continuous or past tense verb.
Example:
Correct: he used to smoke.
Incorrect: He used to smoked, he used to smoking.
Except in negative and questions, the correct form is USED TO.

Example: I used to go to the park every Sunday.
To form questions, use DID and the negative form is usually didn’t use to.
Used to is not a tense but it is like a tense. It is a special expression and we use it for the past
only. We use it to talk about an activity that people did regularly in the past like a habit and when
we talk about a situation that was true in the past.
Take a look at the following chart:
8
Structure of used to
Subject Auxiliary Did Not Main verb use Infinitive

Afirmative I used to do.
Negative I did not use to do.
Subject Auxiliary Did Main verb use Infinitive
Interrogative Did you use to do?
Look at these examples:
The past The present

She used to work in a shop. Now she works in a bank.
He used to watch a lot of TV. Now he doesn’t watch much TV.
They used to be single. Now they are married.
There used to be a football court here. Now there is a supermarket here.
Did you use to wear a uniform in secondary school? Yes, I used to wear a nice uniform.
The following chart will help you understand better how to structure used to.
As we previously observed, we are reviewing a past structure:
9
In the previous chart we understand that used to is a structure that shows an action that was
performed repeatedly in the past:
Kingston used to be a peaceful city (now there is a lot of traffic).
Carmen used to dance to the music (now she does not dance too often).
The negative form of used to shows how an action was not performed repeatedly in the past,
but to this moment it has become more frequent:
We didn’t use to have a seafood restaurant.
Since we are using the auxiliary did in the negative form then the verb remains
in the base form.
