Today we will discuss about using ‘used to’ in a
sentence. We use ‘used to’ for something
that happened regularly in the past but no longer happens now.
Examples:
He used to come here once a week.
I used to go to school by bus.
When I was young, I used to tease him a lot because of
his funny looking sunglasses.
I used to smoke when I was in college, but quit after
joining military.

Tanya was a Russian girl of 18. She was the daughter of a school teacher. The Germans invaded Russia in 1941. Tanya heard how cruelly the enemies were treating her countrymen. She was eager to fight the Germans, but as she was girl, she could not become a soldier. She was, however, given other works to do. It was difficult, but she made up her mind to fulfill her task. She hid among the Germans in one of the conquered villages. She cut off their telephone lines and set fire to their stores. One day she came upon a place where horses were kept, and thought of burning it down. But just as she was going to do it, she was caught by a German soldier. He took her to their leader. They tried to make her say where she had come from and show many there were like her. But as much as they beat this brave girl, she did not tell them anything. In the end, she was put to death. She died bravely, saying, “You are killing me, but my countrymen are sure to take revenge on you.”
