The word ‘used’ can be the past tense of ‘use’ which is a verb in the past tense. It is also an adjective and takes the meaning ‘second-hand’. When used with the preposition ‘to’ it means ‘accustomed to’ or ‘in the past one usually did something’. Readers may get confused just by reading the above explanations. Why not look at the following sentences to see how they appear in sentences.
1 I used all my savings to buy a new computer yesterday. [past tense of ‘use’]
2 A used car cost less than a new one. [second-hand]
3 I am used to being shouted at by the boss here. [accustomed to]
4 I used to play barefooted when I was a boy. [In the past, I usually played]
So much for the use of 'used' for your perusal.

Dear PN3533,
We used to travel from Pahang to Penang and then back to Pahang, hundreds of kilometers, just for the sake of convenience.
We used to travel from Jerantut to Kuantan and then to Pekan, just to have a look at South China Sea.
Those were the days!

Now I finally remembered. You must be Yong Cheng Suan, my buddy in upper secondary school in Penang. We bought the same type of motorcyles, ie.t Honda C70. May be my number plate was PN3533 or PN3531 because we asked the mechanic to register our bikes together.
How is life in Raub?
