Practicing 'used to' and verb collocations
In this lesson you practiced past habitual expressions with used to/didn't used to and worked on common verb collocations (make/do, turn on/off, look for). The tutor corrected sentence forms, pronunciation, and helped you replace simple past sentences with 'used to' where appropriate.
