Could you explain to me this sentence: " I used to work there last summer."
It means that " I used to work there in summer last year( 2007)." or " I used to work there in summer this year( 2008)? " ( if it was in autumn 2008 right now.) Thank you so much.

Hello,
Well we are 2009 so probably it would mean summer 2008 , if it was even said in november 2008 it would be still referring to summer 2008 , only if it was mentioned before summer summer 2008 then it would mean summer 2007 !

(used to) refers to the past only & it means you had a habit & now you dont that habit anymore.

We don't really say, 'I used to work there in summer this year.' It would be better to say 'I worked there this summer.' There is no need to add 'this year' because most people will understand that it was this year.
I hope this anwers your question.
