[Grammar] They used to be / were good friends
The below sentence is from my English exercise book:
They_____good friends, but they’ve fallen out recently.
a. used to be
b. would be
c. were
d. are
I understand b & d can be eliminated easily, but I'm not sure the difference between a & c: used to be vs. were. Could you help explain the appropriate answer for this question? Thanks a lot
