    ADJECTIVES+PREPOSITIONS
    USED TO/WOULD = something you did in the past as a
    habit but not anymore (but we don't use 'would' with
    state verbs and in questions and negatives)

    It works as a past simple verb:

    I used to like mushroom.


    We would go to the beach every summer.
    Did you use to visit museums?
    My mum didn’t use to work.
    Mount St Helen’s, before and after the volcanic eruption
    Children’s games
