I used to go to the movies.Note that the word is used, although native speakers sometimes incorrectly write it as use. Futhermore, this is not a verb, or at least it's a defective verb and is only used in the construction I presented above, and as follows. I don't think it's a verb. I think it's more of a verbal modifier/adverb type of thing that denotes a habitual action. One additional use of the word used is "to be accustomed to". --He always treats you poorly. --I'm used to it. (I'm accustomed to it)Soler + infinitive = Pronoun + usually + infinitive Suelo ir al cine.

Thanks a lot for your explanations, Rusty and David. It's pretty clear.
From your explanations I guess it's a defective verb as atmospheric verbs and some other, very few, verbs both in Spanish and in English. Thanks a lot!
