Hello,
Please,is there any difference between " I used to play tennis and I was used to play tennis?.
And can we say instead of " did you use to have lots of homework and were you used to have lots of hmoework"?.
I know that if we use "to be used to do sth"it means that we're accustomed to do it,but what I don't understand is "was/were used to".
