Used to versus past simple

We use used to + bare infinitive to refer to past habits or states.

He used to swim a lot when he was younger.

In such cases used to can be replaced by the past simple with no change in meaning.

When Ann was young she spent/ used to spend her

summer holidays with her parents.

However , for an action that happened at a definite time in the past we use the past simple, not used to.

He walked to work yesterday.

(NOT: He used to walk to work yesterday)
