used to & usually

Used to...

We can use "used to" to talk about a past habit or  state.

 use "didn't" + use + to + verb. (Remove the final /d/ ending from "used".)

 question, use "did" as the auxiliary, and take the final /d/ ending off "used":

To talk about past habits in English, you can also use would + infinitive without "to":

However, you cannot use "would" in this way to talk about past states. For this, you must use "used to".

Used to can be used with action and non-action  verbs 

example:
She used to drink a lot 


I´m used to run everyday in the park.


he didn't use to smoke every day.


Did we used to learn French?


Usually ...


usually is used for present actions and habits , that you do frequently 

 affirmative : subject+
usually/ normally + simple present


questions :Do + subject+ usually+ simple present +  ?

 
negative: subject + don´t + usually + simple present


Examples:


Do you usually going to park?


We usually  get up at 6:00 am.


She don´t usually eat fruits and vegetables.


The school usually open at 7:00am

Adjectives Order

In English, it is common to use more than one adjective before a noun — for example, “He's a silly young fool,” or “She's a smart, energetic woman.” When you use more than one adjective, you have to put them in the right order, according to type.
 1. The basic types of adjectives
 Opinion An opinion adjective explains what you think about something (other people may not agree with you). For example: silly, beautiful, horrible, difficult
Size A size adjective, of course, tells you how big or small something is. For example: large, tiny, enormous, little
Age An age adjective tells you how young or old something or someone is. For example: ancient, new, young, old
Shape A shape adjective describes the shape of something. For example: square, round, flat, rectangular
 Colour A colour adjective, of course, describes the colour of something. For example: blue, pink, reddish, grey
Origin An origin adjective describes where something comes from. For example: French, lunar, American, eastern, Greek
Material A material adjective describes what something is made from. For example: wooden, metal, cotton, paper
 Purpose A purpose adjective describes what something is used for. These adjectives often end with “-ing”. For example: sleeping (as in “sleeping bag”), roasting (as in “roasting tin”)
