Hello everyone!

What did it use to be like in the evening before there was TV?
Used to ( in questions and negatives the �d � goes...) is part of the main verb phrase so you need to use the �standard � question and negation rules that you would use for a normal past simple sentence : QuASI (=Question word-Auxiliary-Subject-Infinitive=)
Good luck!
