Ah, there are are few!  Since what you have written is incomplete it is unclear which you mean.

 

Used to: I am used to chatting online (Accustomed to, Familiar with)

Used to: I used to come very often, but now I come less frequently

Used to: It is used to make bread (it's use is in making bread)

I used to use it to make bread but now I am not used to bread-making

use to in english

<em>Used to</em> in English
Examples:

<em>Antes trabajaba en la fábrica, pero ahora trabaja en la oficina.</em>

H<em>e used to work in the factory, but now he works in the office.</em>


Don't overuse <em>"used to". </em>Many times when the Spanish uses <em>el imperfecto</em>, English uses the simple past. In the sentence above, I could also express that as:

<em>Earlier, he worked in the factory, but now he works in the office.</em>

Creo que tienes razón, Kati.

Yes Katerina that's what she is asking. Katerina do you have any Greek roots by the way ? I am just asking this because Katerina is a Greek name, original name being Αικατερίνη.

Hi, are you asking about the term "used to" in English? This tense is known as the imperfect tense. Some examples of when it is used are: - I used to walk to school, but now, I drive. - He used to be happy, but now, he is sad. - She used to play tennis, but now, she swims.
