This phrase literally means that:
Monique tells Philip that "he used to date (her) cousin Tiffany".
This phrase literally means that:
This phrase literally means that:
This is correct. "Used to" followed by an infinitive verb (to date) expresses a habitual action in the past. In this case Philip and Tiffany dated in the past.
Do not confuse the "used to + verb" construction with the verb "to use", which can express a sense of "taking advantage" or "mistreatment" when speaking about people. For example: "The criminal used him for his own evil machinations".
This is not what Monique is expressing. In this sentence, the verb "to date" is being used in the sense of "going out with" or "having a romantic relationship", and not in the sense of an appointment or rendezvous.
Do not confuse the "used to + verb" construction with the "be used to + verb" construction, which expresses a sense of repetitive action, or habit. For example, "I am used to skipping breakfast in the morning" which expresses that the speaker is accustomed to missing the meal of breakfast.
