Another question about used to does exist here. But this question is slightly different. It concerns with two types.

Which is more appropriate?

First, doing or do?

Second, were or did?

Which of the following types of usage is/are correct?

----Were you used to doing this

or----Were you used to do this?

----Did you use to....

or ---Were you used to... (as above)

Please give a detailed explanation.

  • It may not be a duplicate anymore, but it is still off-topic as General Reference. Commented May 26, 2014 at 18:08
  • General Reference? Sorry. Didn't get you well. How exactly is it off-topic? It concerns English usage here, doesn't it?

  • You're confusing at least two different constructions. (a) I used to play golf = I was in the habit of playing golf. (b) I was used to hitting drives into the lake = I depressingly often hit drives / was accustomed to hitting drives into the lake. (c) A sand wedge is used to chip out of bunkers = A sand wedge is employed to chip out of bunkers. Commented May 26, 2014 at 18:40
