In this activity, you'll practice using the structure "used to" by filling in the gaps in a short text about TikTok. The text describes the writer's thoughts and experiences with the popular social network, and uses "used to" to contrast their past and present attitudes. You'll need to choose the correct form of "used to" to fill in the gaps, and think about how the context of the sentence affects the meaning of the phrase. By the end of the activity, you'll have a better understanding of how "used to" can be used to talk about changes over time, and how it applies to our relationship with social networks like TikTok.
