used to
I am having problems with using used to or use to.
What would I Use for these examples:
Did you use to or used to look like your mother when you were young?
Did you use to or used to go to cartoon movies when you were young?
When I was young I didn't use to used to look like my father.

In your first two sentences, with the past question form, did...use to is correct, though many people also write did...used to. Your other option is Used you to look like your mother?
Your third sentence choices are I didn't use to / I used not to / I used to not look like my father.
Your third sentence choices are I didn't use to / I used not to / I used to not look like my father.

I wonder if the third sentence is sufficient as:
'When I was young, I didn't look like my father.'
Mr Micawber's three choices, on this one, are relevant if the 'when' clause is absent.
'When I was young, I didn't look like my father.'

Dear sirs,
I believe that «did you used to» is incorrect.
