Not quite: it's always used in the past tense:
I used to go swimming every day after my work.
She used to take her dog for a walk twice a day.

You have to be careful in negative sentences:
I didn't use to go swimming.
Lots of people, especially natives, stick an extra 'd' on 'use'. (Because it's always followed by 'to', and 'used to' and 'use to' are pronounced the same.)

Note also that in 'used to' the 's' is unvoiced: I used to = I yoossstuh
Unlike when 'use' is used as a normal verb: I used a hammer = I yoozduh hammuh

We can use ‘would’ to talk about repeated past actions.

Often either ‘would’ or ‘used to’ is possible. Both of these sentences are possible. * Every Saturday, I would go on a long bike ride. * Every Saturday I used to go on a long bike ride.
However, only ‘used to’ is possible when we talk about past states. * We used to live in New York when I was a kid. * We would live in New York when I was a kid.

It is better not to use "used to" in questions or negative forms; however, this is sometimes done in informal spoken English. It is better to ask questions and create negative sentences using Simple Past.
