used to

• ingilizce'de alisik olmayi gosterdigi gibi, gecmis zamanin hikayesi olarak da kullanilir.
  
  ornekle aciklayalim:
  
  * "i am used to getting up early in the morning". (sabah erken kalkmaya alisigim)
  * "i used to live in ankara before i moved to istanbul" (istanbul'a tasinmadan once ankara'da otururdum).
• (bkz: hey gidi günler hey)
• "used to"nun bir benzeri de "accustomed to"dur ve aynı anlamı verir.
  
  "i am used to living in london" diye kullanırız.

  you used to talk to me like
  i was the only one around
  you used to lean on me
  the only other choice was falling down
  you used to walk with me like
  we had no where we needed to go
  nice and slow
  to no place in particular
  
  we used to have this figured out
  we used to breathe without a doubt
  when nights were clear you were the first star that i'd see
  we used to have this under control
  we never thought we used to know
  at least there's you
  and at least there's me
  can we get this back?
  can we get this back?
  to how it used to be
  
  i used to reach for you
  i got lost along the way
  i used to listen
  you always had the just right thing to say
  i used to follow you
  never really cared where we would go
  fast or slow
  to anywhere at all
  
  we used to have this figured out
  we used to breathe without a doubt
  the nights were clearer for the first time that i'd see
  we used to have this under control
  we never thought we used to know
  at least there's you
  and at least there's me
  can we get this back?
  can we get this back?
  to how it used to be
  
  i look around me
  and i want you to be there
  cause i miss the things that we shared
  look around you
  it's empty and you're sad
  cause you miss the love that we had
  
  you used to talk to me like
  i was the only one around
  the only one around
  
  we used to have this figured out
  we used to breathe without a doubt
  the nights were clearer for the first time that i'd see
  we used to have this under control
  we never thought we used to know
  at least there's you
  and at least there's me
  can we get this back?
  can we get this back?

• ingilizcede gecmiste surekli yapilan eylemleri nitelemek icin kullanilan kalip. used to kalibi kullanilirken genelde gecmiste yapilip artik yapilmayan eylemlerden bahsedilir, ancak hem gecmiste hem de gunumuzde yapilan eylemleri nitelemek icin de kullanilabilir.
  
  olumlu (affirmative) cumle: subject used to v1
  i used to watch cartoons when i was a child.
  
  olumsuz (negative) cumle: subject didnt use to v1
  i didn't use to eat spinach when i was 10.
  
  soru (question) cumlesi: did subject use to v1? yes, subject did/no, subject didnt.
  did your father use to wear flares when he was younger? yes, he did/no, he didn't.
  
  used to kalibi gecmisteki aliskanliklarimizdan bahsettigi icin tek bir eylemi degil de gecmis rutinleri niteler. tek bir eylemi nitelemek icin past simple ya da past continuos kullanilmalidir. for example,
  
  -i used to eat hamburgers when i was teenager, but i don't like them anymore. (ergen iken hamburger yemesi onun o yaslarda birden cok gerceklestirdigi eylemdir, onun icin used to kalibi kullanilir.)
  -i ate hamburgers for dinner yesterday evening. (bu cumlede dun aksam yemegi icin hamburger yedigi soylenmektedir, yani eylem bir kez gerceklesmistir.)
  
  not: used to ile be used to kaliplari farklidir. be used to, alisilan, yeni yeni gerceklesen eylemler icin kullanilir.
  
  i'm used to getting up early, it's hard but i have to. (kisinin erken kalkma gibi bir zorunlulugu vardir ve bu kisi buna alisma surecindedir. gecmis rutin eylemlerle alakali degildir.)
