It emphasizes to compare past with now, suggests that the habitual action or state of being is not now. to is the infinitive symbol which followed by a verb. It was just used in simple past tense, there is no change in person and number. In the positive sentence the pattern is S +used to + do sth. Such as Mr. Wang used to be a worker. Li Ping used to get up earlier. S+ didnt use to+ do sth. is the negative form, pay attention didnt adding use. Such as He did not use to swim in this river, but he swims here now. Here another negative form S + used not to + V., in this pattern, used is a modal verb, in the negative sentence you can add not behind it. Also used not could abbreviate usednt or usent. He didnt use to swim in the river is equal to He used not to swim in the river. Do you understand?
