| Re: what do we mean by "used to"? "Used to" can have several different meanings. It can refer to a previous situation: "I used to live in California, but I moved to Michigan in 1999." It can mean getting acclimated or adapted to something: "At first I couldn't tolerate the humidity in Michigan, but now I'm getting used to it." In the most literal sense, it describes a procedure: "The fork is used to hold the meat in place while you slice it with your knife." |
