Open F2F Class Notes 20th September (Eddie)

I used to have a bicycle, but I gave it away.

to give something away = not in exchange for money

I wasn’t using my old iPhone, so I gave it away.

to use = to utilize

E.g.

I use computers in my daily work.

I use [1] my iPhone to talk to friends, to send messages and to watch videos. I didn’t used to [2] like watching videos on my phone, but now I am used to [3] it.

to be used to something = to not be impressed by something

I didn’t use to [2] like spicy food, but now I am used to it [3].

A: I wake up at 7 every morning. What time do you wake up?
B: I start work at 7, so I have to wake up at 5.
A: Whoa, that sounds crazy. I could never do that.
B: It was difficult in the beginning, but now I am used to it.

[1] = to utilize

[2] = something was true in the past, but it is not true anymore

[3] = to not be impressed by something, to be familiar with something
