Used to

Posted by Rama Van Basten under
Used to yang kita gunakan disini bukanlah bentuk Kata Kerja 2 dari Use, melainkan satu kesatuan kata yang berarti "biasanya". Dalam Bahasa Inggris penggunaan kata tersebut banyak menghiasi percakapan. "Used to do" berbeda dengan "to be used to doing" dan "to get used to doing".
