GRAMMAR
 Grammar 1: used to
 1. We use “used to” + the base form of the verb to talk about past habits or
past situations that are not true anymore.
Examples:

- I used to live in Temuco when I was a child.

- Mark used to work here in the bank.

 2. ”Used to” always has a past meaning, but we only use it for something that
happened regularly. We use the simple past tense to express something that
happened only one time.
Examples:
- Carl saw Nick yesterday morning.
We don’t say: Carl used to see Nick yesterday morning.
 Grammar 1: used to
 3. We can use the negative form “didn’t use to” to talk about things that did
not happen regularly.

Example:

- John didn’t use to be a reporter. He was a researcher, like Carl.

More often, we use “never used to”

- John never used to go to soccer games, but now he goes all the time.

 4. We use “Did + use to” to ask questions.

Example:

- Did John use to like soccer when he was younger?

- Did you use to live in Temuco when you were a child?

 Grammar 2: Embedded Wh- Questions
 1. It’s a question that is inside another sentence.

Examples:

- I don’t know what you’re talking about.

- I can’t explain what I am feeling right now.

 2. We often use embedded questions to ask politely for information.

Example:

- Excuse me. Can you tell where the bathroom is?

 3. We start embedded wh- questions with a question word.

Examples:

- I know who you are.

- Can you tell how much the milk costs?

 Grammar 2: Embedded Wh- Questions
 4. Notice that we use statement word order, not questions word order in
embedded wh- questions.

Examples:

- Question order: Where am I?

- Statement order: I’m not sure where I am.

Note: We do not use “do”, “does”, or “did” in the embedded wh- questions:

Examples:

- Questions order: 1. Who do you want? / 2. What did you find out?

- Statement order: 1. I know who you want./ 2. Can you tell what you found
out?
 Grammar 2: Embedded Wh- Questions
 5. We can have a embedded wh- question inside a statement or inside a
question.

Inside a statement: we put a period at the end of the sentece.

Example:

- I know what you want.

- I can see what you read.

Inside a question: we put a question mark at the end of the sentence.

Examples:

- Can you tell me what you want?

- Can you tell where the bathroom is?

 Grammar 3:Definite and Indefinite Articles

nouns.
