							| What did it use to be like in the evening before there was TV?Used to ( in questions and negatives the  �d � goes...) is part of the main verb phrase so you need to use the  �standard � question and negation rules that you would use for a normal past simple sentence : QuASI (=Question word-Auxiliary-Subject-Infinitive=)Good luck! |  9 Apr 2013
