What kind of error is it?
It's a grammatical error in verb tense usage.
Why do people make this mistake?
People often make this error due to phonetic confusion, as "used to" and "use to" sound almost identical in spoken language. Additionally, people might mistakenly omit the "d" while writing due to misunderstanding the correct form.
What is correct?
"Used to" is the correct form to indicate an action that occurred regularly in the past but no longer happens.
Examples of correct usage
- I used to play the piano when I was a child.
- She used to visit her grandparents every summer.
- We used to go to the beach every weekend.
