Used to
Hello,
I need to reconfirm on using 'used to' in a sentence for example:
I used to live in China.
Between both sentences below, which one is correct?
1. I didn't use to live in China.
or
2. I didn't used to live in China.
Thank you.

Hi,
The first one is correct. Instead of " I didn't use to.." you can also say " I never used to..."

I actually make this error pretty frequently.
The problem is the pronunciation. "I didn't use to" and "used to" will sound almost identical, so when you type quickly what you "hear" in your head, it happens.
Remember that when you have a conjugated form of "to do" (she did, he didn't, it does, etc.), the other verb will always be in the main form (use).
