Learning by Singing Past habit – used to We use used to for something that happened regularly in the past but no longer happens. We also use it for something that was true but no longer is. Examples: I used to smoke a packet a day but I stopped 2 years ago. Ben used to travel a lot in his job but now, since his promotion, he doesnt. She used to have really long hair but shes had it all cut off. Coldplay Viva La Vida Lyrics I used to rule the world Seas would rise when I gave the word Now in the morning I sleep alone Sweep the streets I used to own I used to roll the dice Feel the fear in my enemies eyes Listen as the crowd would sing: Now the old king is dead! Long live the king! One minute I held the key Next the walls were closed on me And I discovered that my castles stand Upon pillars of salt, and pillars of sand I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing Roman Cavalry choirs are singing Be my mirror my sword and shield My missionaries in a foreign field For some reason I can not explain Once you know there was never, never an honest word That was when I ruled the world (Ohhh) It was the wicked and wild wind Blew down the doors to let me in. Shattered windows and the sound of drums People could not believe what Id become Revolutionaries Wait For my head on a silver plate Just a puppet on a lonely string Oh who would ever want to be king? #words #wordoftheday #english #learningenglish #LearningbySinging #singing #music #usedto #Coldplay #VivaLaVida
