Used to
Di akhir lesson ini, kamu bisa:
- Membentuk used to + kata kerja dasar untuk kebiasaan/keadaan lampau.
- Membuat bentuk negatif (didn't use to) dan tanya (Did ... use to ...?).
- Membedakan used to dari past simple biasa.
Bentuk & Aturan
used to + kata kerja dasar menggambarkan kebiasaan atau keadaan di masa lampau yang sudah berhenti dan tidak berlaku lagi sekarang.
| Struktur | Contoh | |
|---|---|---|
| (+) | S + used to + base verb | I used to work in Jakarta. |
| (−) | S + didn't use to + base verb | We didn't use to work from home. |
| (?) | Did + S + use to + base verb? | Did you use to play football? |
⚠️ Perhatikan ejaan: dalam bentuk positif tulis used to (dengan -d). Dalam bentuk negatif dan tanya, karena sudah ada did/didn't, tulis use to (tanpa -d).
Catatan:
- used to hanya untuk masa lampau; tidak ada bentuk present. Untuk kebiasaan sekarang pakai present simple: I usually drink tea.
- Sering dipasangkan dengan but not anymore / no longer untuk menegaskan kebiasaan itu sudah berhenti.
Kapan Dipakai
- Kebiasaan lampau yang sudah berhenti:
I used to commute two hours a day. (sekarang tidak lagi)
- Keadaan/kenyataan lampau yang sudah berubah:
This building used to be a factory. (sekarang bukan lagi)
- Membandingkan dulu vs sekarang:
We used to meet in the office, but now we work remotely.
- Bertanya tentang kebiasaan lama seseorang:
Did you use to live abroad?
🔁 used to vs past simple: pakai used to untuk kebiasaan berulang atau keadaan lampau (I used to swim every day). Pakai past simple untuk satu kejadian selesai (I swam yesterday). Untuk satu kejadian, jangan pakai used to: ❌ I used to call him yesterday.
Examples (English)
I used to work night shifts, but now I have normal hours. She didn't use to like public speaking, but now she enjoys it. Did your team use to use spreadsheets for everything? This office used to be much smaller.

Dialogue
Talking about how work has changed
Did you use to work in this office every day?
Yes, I used to commute two hours each way. It was exhausting.
I didn't use to work from home either, but now most of the team is remote.
Exactly. We used to have long meetings, but we don't anymore. Things are much faster now.
Kesalahan Umum
- ❌ "I use to work there." (maksud positif) → ✅ "I used to work there." (positif pakai used to dengan -d)
- ❌ "She didn't used to like coffee." → ✅ "She didn't use to like coffee." (setelah didn't tanpa -d)
- ❌ "Did you used to live abroad?" → ✅ "Did you use to live abroad?" (setelah did tanpa -d)
- ❌ "I used to call him yesterday." → ✅ "I called him yesterday." (satu kejadian selesai pakai past simple)
- ❌ "I am used to play tennis (dulu)." → ✅ "I used to play tennis." (used to = kebiasaan lampau; jangan campur dengan be used to)
