    Thank you for your video. I considered this topic to be difficult. However, you explained everything really clearly. I have never heard or maybe I've never paid attention to the pronunciation of "used to". So I was shocked that native speakers pronouns it like "useta" I always learn smth new from your videos. I like your approach to every topic and how funny you are. Moreover, it's easy for me to perceive your pronunciation and accent. That's why I can watch your video without subbtitles
