IV. Rewrite the sentences with USED TO. 1. She has short hair now. 2. He doesn’t play football. 3. She is a hairdresser now. 4. I don’t watch TV anymore. 5. Do they live in New York?

Sure, I can help you with rewriting these sentences using "used to." The phrase "used to" is often used to describe an action or a state that was regular or common in the past but is not anymore. Here's how you can rewrite your sentences:

1. Original: She has short hair now. Rewritten: She used to have long hair.

   Explanation: Since the original sentence emphasizes that she has short hair now, the implication is that her hair was not short before. Using "used to" here suggests that her long hair was a previous, now-changed state.

2. Original: He doesn’t play football. Rewritten: He used to play football.

   Explanation: This sentence is straightforward. Since he doesn't play football now, "used to" indicates that playing football was a regular activity for him in the past.

3. Original: She is a hairdresser now. Rewritten: She used to be in a different profession (or you could specify the previous profession if known).

   Explanation: The focus is on her current profession as a hairdresser, implying a change from a past profession. "Used to" is applied to suggest that her previous profession was different.

4. Original: I don’t watch TV anymore. Rewritten: I used to watch TV.

   Explanation: This is a direct application of "used to." The original sentence indicates that watching TV was an activity you engaged in before, but not now.

5. Original: Do they live in New York? Rewritten: Did they use to live in New York?

   Explanation: This sentence is a bit tricky since it's a question. To maintain the question form and apply "used to," we turn it into a past tense inquiry, suggesting that you're asking if living in New York was true in the past.

Remember, when using "used to," it's important to ensure that the context clearly indicates a past habitual action or state that has since changed.
