    Mike, what is the difference between "I used to be a pilot" and "I was a pilot"? "used to be skinny" and "was skinny"? How these things may be "used to" at all? Being a pilot or skinny is typically what that happens once in lifetime and if it gone, it gone forever …
    Thank you for your work.

    • @TeacherMikeEnglish
      @TeacherMikeEnglish  11 місяців тому

      "Used to" emphasizes that it was true for a (probably long) period of time. "Was" could mean that it was just for ten seconds or two days. But in those examples, you could really use either one.
