Used to vs. Simple Past 

Both simple past and used to can be used to describe past habits, past facts, and past states; 
Used to is preferred when emphasizing these forms of past repetition in positive sentences. 
On the other hand, when asking questions or making negative sentences, a simple past is preferred.
