'Used to' is used to talk about past habits and states that don't happen now.
e.g. People used to watch programmes on a black and white TV. e.g. The student used to misbehave a lot in class. e.g. People used to think it was impossible to fly to the moon. e.g. Where did you use to live? e.g. Where did you use to go to school? e.g. What did you use to do in your free time? e.g. Before 2010, we didn't use to have tablets like iPads. e.g. He didn't used to write neatly. He used to write untidily. A suffix is a word ending.
The suffix -s tells us that it is either the plural of a noun or the present simple form of a verb (an action or habit that is repeated). e.g. He plays football with his friends everyday. The suffix -ed tells us that an action has happened in the past. e.g. The girl played with her friends in the park. The suffix -ing is used with the verb 'to be' to tell us that an action is in the present or past tense. e.g. The boy is playing football in the playground. e.g. The girl was playing with her friends The suffix -er makes a new word, such as comparative adjectives or nouns. e.g. The boy runs fast but his friend runs faster. e.g. Someone who runs is called a runner. When -ed, -ing or -er is added to the end of a word, we sometimes have to double the last letter. Usually the last letter is doubled if the one before is a vowel. e.g. shop/shopped/shopping e.g. skip/skipped/skipping These are the answers to the exercises completed in class on Wednesday of week 4 of term 2.
