English

Etymology

From use (“to perform habitually”) + to.

Pronunciation

  • IPA(key): /juːs.tu/, /juːs.tə/

Verb

use to

  1. Synonym of used to

Usage notes

  • Use to is standard with did,[1] as in did I use to do that?. In other cases, such as I use to go to the fair every year, it is considered an error (but common, influenced by the near- or exact- homophony of use to and used to).
