Hi everyone , please, is the following question correct: who did he use to live with? He used to live with his uncle. |

Yes, it is. You don �t need a �d � on the end of �use � in the question, as the �did � takes care of the past tense. |

The correct question would be : with whom did he use to live? |

Just a word of advice: If you want to sound like a native speaker don �t use "whom" (except for the phrase "to whom it may concern"). |

RIP WHOM. It �s a shame about �whom �, but it is in its death throes, to the extent that it never even occurred to me, as an ancient native speaker  , to use it in this sentence. This is an interesting thread, although some of the comments sound crackpot, for example, �From whom did you hear that?� This sentence would make anybody under 93 laugh. Not saying whether that includes me.

dharm0087, that site looks lovely, but it has nothing to do with this thread and will disappear off the forum. If you want to publicise Moral Past Stories, you could start a new thread and briefly summarise what the site offers. Lynne
