used
to As we studied in Advanced Lesson 2 "used to" can be
used to express past habit. To review Lesson 2 click HERE.
I used
to walk to school. Caminaba a la escuela.
NOTE: In the negative form the word "didn't" indicates that the sentence
is negative so "used to" changes to its basic form "use to". Similarly, in
the question form the word "Did" indicates that the sentence is
negative.
I didn't use
to walk to school.
Did you use to
walk to school?

up early. Me estoy

get drunk - emborracharse
get tired - cansarse
get bored - aburrirse
get sick - enfermarse
get engaged - comprometerse
get married - casarse

NOTE: "be used to" and "get used to" are used with the gerund
