I use to visit her = I usually visit her?

My guess is that "I use to visit her" is not heard in English. "I usually visit her" is the way to say it. The mistake comes from similar but correct sentences like "I used to visit her ".

Am I right? I just wanted to confirm with a native speaker.


Thanks.

Correct. The common expression is: I used to visit her on Friday.

It means that in the past, it was my habit to visit her but I do not visit her on Friday any more.

If you have a present habit, then we say: I usually visit her on Friday.

The sentences seem incomplete wit
