"used to be"
what does "used to be" mean and when can I use it?
**
If you use 'can', remember that in question form, can and the subject will switch.
For example:
You can watch TV.
He can do many backflips.
Can you turn on the TV?
When can he finish the report?

"Used to be" is used to describe some kind of past state.
"I used to be a teacher" (Before, I was a teacher. Now, I am not)
"They used to be best friends" (Before, they were best friends. Now, they are not)
"This gym used to be the cheapest gym in the area" (Before, this gym was the cheapest. Now it is not.)
I hope that helps, even if it's a little bit.
