Did you use

I think you should write: Did you use to live here?.

As CK said before, Both of them correct:
Did you used to.....? or
Did you use to......?

Eldad Eldad 4. januar 2012 4. januar 2012 kl. 23.32.13 UTC flag Report link Permalink

Corrected (after "did", one cannot use "used", but rather the basic form of the verb).

In fact, we can use both of them. but "use to" is
more common.

Thank you very much, duran.
I didn't know that "didn't used to" could be correct.

everything is either correct or will soon become so at some point, in English...

We obey the rules, But the native speakers don't.
Take care. :)

rules? Whose rules?

sacredceltic sacredceltic 5. januar 2012 5. januar 2012 kl. 12.56.31 UTC flag Report link Permalink

>they know them internally well enough that they know when something "sounds right" or "sounds wrong."

Not anymore. because English is spoken by very various groups in the world, that most natives have never heard or read in their life.
One's "rules" sound "wrong" to another one.

"sounding" is not a good criteria for defining a "rule".
