Question

Choose the correct word to fill in the blank:
We ___ in London, but now we live in Delhi.

• A. lived
• B. used to live
• C. were
• D. happen to live

Hint:

Use \textbf{``used to''} when something was true in the past but is \textbf{not true now}.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Concept: The phrase ``used to'' is used to describe past habits or situations that are no longer true in the present.

• Structure: Subject + used to + base verb

Step 1:Analyze the sentence.
\[ \text{Past situation: living in London} \] \[ \text{Present situation: living in Delhi} \] This clearly indicates a change over time.
Step 2:Evaluate options:

• (A) lived → Grammatically correct, but does not emphasize that the situation has changed.
• (B) used to live → Correct; clearly shows past habit no longer true.
• (C) were → Incorrect structure.
• (D) happen to live → Incorrect meaning.

Step 3:Form the correct sentence: \[ \text{We used to live in London, but now we live in Delhi.} \]
