In response to Re: would vs used to do - Teachers Discussion (Jane)
to use to be sth/sb, for example in the question: What did he use to be? An acceptable answer: He used to be a teacher of physics.
to be used to (doing) sth/sb is, as you will know, different.
to use sth/sb to do sth/sb is, as you will know, different again.
But as for the grammatical logic behind the first of the three,sorry,I'm no expert on infinitives!
