Grammar (Level 2+): Used for ..+ verb-ing & Used to + verb

In our lessons we talked about UTENSILS and TOOLS.

eg. A rolling pin is used for preparing dough

Exercise: Can you tell me what these kitchen utensils are used for?

A whisk

An egg beater

A flipper

A carving knife


Used to ...

It is easy to confuse used to and used for.

Used to = something we did in the past but not now

eg. I used to drink 10 cups of coffee a day (but not now).

Remember the small spelling change with QUESTIONS and NEGATIVES ... drop the 'd'

eg. Did you use to drink lots of coffee?

eg. I didn't use to drink lots of coffee, but now I do.
